Plot[]
Reg is fed up with having Ken as a tenant as he has to look after the repairs of the flat. Derek gives Norris lessons in salesmanship. Gail befriends Mrs Baker whose daughter Mandy is admitted to the ward. Reg offers to sell the shop flat to Ken. Sister Radford tells Martin that she needs respect from him - they both agree they're stressed because of overwork. Liz is depressed as she starts back at the Legion. Mavis is aghast when Derek sells his wares to Rita. Raquel gets an overnight modelling assignment in Birmingham, wearing gloves in a catalogue. Derek is put out when Norris has a better day's selling than him. Alex apologises to Tanya about Amsterdam and assures her that she is more than a kept woman.
