Plot
Alec is frustrated when the Roberts' refuse to have Alf standing for Council. He decides to stand himself. Liz threatens to tell Mrs Jeffers if Jim doesn't sort Andy out. Bet makes Alec realise they could lose money if he was a councillor as he wouldn't be impartial. Phil assures Deirdre that he's not interested in her as a councillor but as a woman. Alec tries to wind Alf up into standing, saying Deirdre is too strong for him to beat. Des looks at Andy's book and tells Jim that he can't loose. Des buys designer sailing wear. When he refuses to share his stew with Steph, she tips it over his lap. Curly coaches Raquel in deportment. The Roberts' tell Alec they can see through his tricks. Reg tells Curly that either he's going to Buxton with Raquel instead of Curly or she's not going at all.
