Plot
Edit
Hilda doesn't switch off Mike's burglar alarm at his flat in time before it goes off and the siren alerts the Police. She is questioned by PC Reed who recognises her as Eddie's landlady and calls Mike in to identify her. She is relieved when Mike laughs it off. Vera tells Hilda that Stan gave the right answers in the quiz; she is useless and he is worthless. They argue in the Street about Jack's answers about his other women. Vera turns on Jack and he tells her to get lost once and for all. Vera agrees to stay away from him and persuades Elsie to take her in for the night. Tom Elliott gets Bert to confirm he decorated No.1 for £30 before telling him that he's from the DOS and he's being investigated for having illicit earnings.
