The only shocking behaviour in the flats is the electric kind. Richard the solicitor is a law unto himself. Martha mothers her sister but Duggie just wants to make eyes at her.
Petulant Richard is struggling to use a razor, while also worrying that Duggie may stab him in the back. Dora tries to get over her shyness of hiding in the flat all day. Old Mr. Harding still feels helpless when he cannot even roast a joint.
Harry is not flashing his pearly whites when his wife is hired as the cleaner for the complex. Can Duggie be talked into a shelving scam? A Mr. Shepherd joins the block flock. The sisters cry over spilt milk.
Shepherd is the talk of the tenants when his wife's affair with a younger football star hits the papers. Someone has pinched Duggie's pincers. The latest additions include a freezer and a possible baby.
The sisters are now calmly reminiscing, so it is the young couple's turn to ensure that arguments are duly done. Trevor brings a friend to visit. The ongoing storyline of the missing items has a surprising resolution.
The new freezer has arrived, but the residents' attitudes are so frosty they could have just stepped out from there themselves. Derek's son-in-law has collapsed, meaning his daughter has returned from Germany and he can move back home.
Daphne tries to take care of Martha, but she is a challenge even for an ex-nurse. Lynne is determined to get the place a new television set. Does Richard have a secret?
Mike's visiting mate is even more dodgy than he is. When Lynne is the latest person to become sick, suspicions are aroused that the cause may be more man-made than influenza. Mike has a lot to answer for.
Mike's extreme prejudice does little to redeem his other faults, while Duggie comes up with a hair-brained scheme to cover their ineptitude. The darts team seem to have trouble as their aim.
In an episode full of social awkwardness, old-fashioned attitudes are rife as news spreads about Trevor's sexuality, and Julie and Richard's dinner party for the flats' owners is embraced by embarrassment.
Everyone's feeling under the weather again, but this time it's headaches. Does Leslie know something about Sarah's fancy man? The Dunns worry about where they will live with the baby, and the homophobia continues.
Worries about Elsie's mental health have the other ladies rallying round. Richard demonstrates an extremely old-fashioned and pompous attitude to a woman's place in the world.
Trevor wanting to move his boyfriend into his flat causes him embarrassment when the whole block decide to have a meeting to discuss it. Martha still hasn't run out of things to moan about.
Julie arrives home after her miscarriage, but Richard doesn't appreciate his mother-in-law's help with her. Daphne is excited to hear from an old flame.
Mike's attempt at flogging 'antiques' comes undone when it turns out the residents know more then he does. Harry tries rigging the drawing of the Lott. Freezer day is looming, and Debbie is worried.
There is more discrimination, this time age, when Leslie is told he is too old at 48 to get a new job as a clerk. Mike's two female friends come face to face. The residents have to pay more than 10p for their tea.
Now settled into the flats, Peter wants to move from hospital porter to nurse. Meanwhile the doctor tries to thaw the retired nurse's frosty exterior. Duggie is still a liability. Harry finds a 16-year old girl from up north in his cab.
It's curtains for the Dunns. As if there wasn't enough drama in the building, Lynne is trying to start an amateur dramatics group. There are a lot of rows.
