Plot
Edit
Alf lets Audrey continue with her salon. Vera and Elsie start on the market. Mike puts them on 5% commission on top of their wages. Vera hopes she'll click. The regular denim seller, Jimmy, takes all the customers as his prices are much cheaper than Baldwin's. Ronnie Burgess pleads guilty to the robbery charge so Brian doesn't have to give evidence against him but still has to appear in court himself. Mike sorts out the market stall rival by threatening a price war. Audrey helps Alf to paint out Renee's name above the shop. Mike tells Ivy and Ida he's booked another stall - for them.
