Plot[]

Part One: A tired and worn out Stan and Hilda return on a milk float. Len and Ray are amused when it almost droves off with a sleeping Hilda on the back. The pensioners decide to meet in the Rovers to decide on their form of protest. Alice declares that she's forgiven Albert. A saddened Maggie tells Len that Gordon's decided to work at the head office in London. Len tells her to call on him if she's lonely. An angry Elsie catches up with Dave at the bookies and tears into him for not telling her that he's married. He tells her Lillian's coming up from London. Neither of them knows why she rang Elsie. Bathing her tired feet, Hilda is annoyed when Annie gives her work for the day to Alice. Ena, Minnie and Alice form their OAP action committee and invite Albert to join them. Len tells Elsie about Arthur Green and she realises he was employed by Lillian. The lady herself arrives at the betting shop and greets her husband.


Part Two: Lillian is impressed by how well Dave has done for himself. Elsie comes in and although Dave tries to pass her off as someone else, Lillian recognises her from a newspaper photograph she saw at the time of Steve Tanner's inquest. Dave asks Elsie to leave them alone to talk. Gordon meets Lucille by appointment at Jackson's Chip Shop to say goodbye. She tells him that he's doing the right thing by leaving and he lets her keep the engagement ring. Ray borrows Stan's ladders. A frantic Hilda discovers he has hidden an Inland Revenue bill from her for £42, 8/4. He isn't concerned about it. Elsie worries about Lillian and tells Dave about Arthur Green. He tells her about the history of his marriage, saying she wants more of his money. The pensioners all meet in the Rovers and decide on a protest march after Ena brushes off Annie's unwanted advice. Gordon hosts leaving drinks. Maggie tells him she's doing the right thing by letting him fly the nest. Elsie refuses to tell Len if Lillian has anything on her. Dave tells Elsie that Lillian wants a divorce on grounds of adultery, citing her.
