Plot[]
Alma is fed up with Mike running Ingram's as she never sees him. Bet feels down with Alec and his earache complaints. The Wiltons set off to Madeira with Percy looking after the house and Harry. Tracy is a reserve on the hockey team but gets to play when another girl is off sick. Mrs Jeffers likes the school strip donated by Phil Jennings. Jackie Ingram decides not to buy "Thorngrove". At check-in, the Wiltons are told to collect their tickets from the Sun Rise Tours desk, but they aren't there. The tour operator tries to get in touch with Rosamund Travel, the Wiltons' travel agent, to confirm that the holiday is booked. Ken is furious when Tracy shows him her hockey strip which advertises PJ Leisure. He blasts Deirdre for helping to promote a group which encourages truancy. Deirdre had no idea about the adverts but thinks it's money well spent. Sun Rise Tours can't get hold of Rosamund Travel and the Wiltons are told the letter of entitlement which Alec gave them is useless. Alma talks Mike into a long weekend in Paris; all the time he can spare. The Wiltons watch their plane take off from the airport bar, the matter still not resolved.
