PlotEdit

Percy, Sam and the bowlers set off to Southport. Percy is shocked to find that Phyllis has got a ticket. Bet sees George Newton. She tells him that she is annoyed at his lack of trust in her. Audrey is impressed at the way Alf has renovated the shop and is interested to know he hasn't got a girlfriend. Bet admits she made a mistake to George. He thinks that she can't handle the responsibility and puts her on probation. Bet thanks Betty for running the pub and tells Gloria she's pleased at her progress and takes her on permanently.

NotesEdit

Viewing Figures: First UK broadcast - 15,550,000 viewers (6th place). This was the first week in which both episodes of Coronation Street gained lower ratings than both episodes of EastEnders although the BARB figures combined the audiences of both the mid-week and Sunday omnibus of the episodes to produce one figure.
