Claire continues to sort through the rubbish in the attic at No.13. She finds a box of very old concert programmes. Sally tells her they're worthless.

Michelle tells Liam how Steve's going to propose to her. Lloyd looks through Claire's old concert programmes. He's amazed to see there's a signed Beatles programme. He tells Claire it's worth a fortune. Vernon and Liz look round the bar in town. Vernon's very enthusiastic whilst Liz isn't so keen. Tony gives Sean a verbal warning when he discovers that he's been skiving from work. Michelle offers Becky a job at the Rovers. Becky's made up and accepts. Tony and Carla arrange to meet Rita and Norris. Carla tells them they're interested in buying The Kabin and the flat above.
