Plot
Annie lays on the wedding breakfast in the Select of the Rovers. Hilda tries to cadge an invite to the reception but to no avail. Ivy spends the reception stopping dirty jokes as Father Harris is present. Brian kids Suzie that Andy Rowlands is a footballer so she shows some interest in him. Ivy is thrilled when Father Harris dances with her. Vera is annoyed when Jack spends the reception drinking in the Public rather than the Select as he doesn't know anyone. She marches him into the Select. Ray phones Deirdre saying he still wants a divorce but will let her divorce him; he's desperate to marry again. Vera rows with Jack when he leaves early to go to the Legion. Gail and Brian set off for the Isle of Man.
