Plot[]
Reg realises he needs a more youthful appearance. He takes Curly with him as he goes to a gentlemen's salon and has a £300 hairpiece fitted. Alf tells Audrey he saw Martin kissing a nurse but she thinks nothing of it. Reg is proud of his wig but only wears it at work. Jack is forced to babysit with Jamie whilst Tricia goes out with Curly. Jamie doesn't want to be with him either. Don takes Josie to the dogs. Jack is uneasy when Jamie tells him he's told his dad where he is. Jamie wins all his money off him at cards and then pretends to be his dad knocking at the door, scaring Jack.
