Plot[]
Audrey breaks down at Alf's funeral and seeks reassurance from Gail that she came through in the end by providing her with a father. Gail and Martin take David and Sarah to the funeral, along with Nick and Leanne. Deirdre, Blanche, Emily, Ken, Fred, Maud, Rita, Kevin, Sally, Betty, Alma and Mike join the family as Alf is buried. Emily and Ken are annoyed when Blanche condemns Alf for always looking after himself and not the community. The mayor offers Alf's title to Audrey and to become "Mrs Millennium" but she fears it will make her sound ancient. When she finds out about the insurance policy running out on New Year's Eve, Audrey insists he must have died before midnight. She becomes hysterical when no one can confirm he died on 31st December. She fears that she's going to be a pauper. Les admits to an incredulous Janice that he took the drug overdose himself.
