Plot[]
Roy wants to complain to the authorities but Hayley tells him that she wants to forget about it. Maxine is upset when Greg tells her that he doesn't want her to move into the flat with him, saying he needs his own space and needs time to make commitments. She feels sorry for him coming from a broken home. Rita complains of feeling ill. Vera tells Jack that she's found a barmaid when Natalie volunteers the services of her niece. Hayley is thrilled when Roy invites her to stay the night in his flat, even if she has to sleep on the sofa. Audrey replaces her campaign photograph with one of her taken in the 1960s. She has posters made and plastered everywhere. Rita is furious to discover that Audrey forced her paper boys to deliver her campaign leaflets. Michael Wall teaches Jim how to dress himself and shows an interest in his relationship with Liz. Alec buys a second-hand portable television to put on the bar so customers can watch the World Cup. Spider hates his neat image on his posters. He rips them down, telling Emily that from now on he's going to run his campaign his way and isn't going to be a sell-out.
