Episode 23 (7 May 1985)

Synopsis
Lou reminds Arthur to send Kathy's birthday card, but Arthur already has. Lou tells Arthur that she doesn't like laying about with aches and pains and to wait until he reaches her age, but Arthur says he would've probably collapsed from exhaustion. Lou complains that people don't want to help others, unlike the old days and she can't even get Dr Legg to come and check her over, but Arthur says she can't get the doctor to come round just because she is shaky and feels sick. In the café, Sue gets Ali to serve Michelle and Sharon. Sharon and Michelle arrange to go to an arcade centre whilst Ian and Kelvin wind Michelle up. When Michelle arrives home, Arthur asks Michelle to go to the library for Lou.
