|
Arthur becomes obsessed in a record of Wilfred's that Alice gave him after his visit. Charlie asks her to let him move in. She lets him. Nick makes food for Charlie and Dot. Nick chokes on the food and leaves the kitchen. Whilst he is gone, Charlie swaps the plates around so that Dot's food becomes his, allowing him to take it to Doctor Legg for analysis. Several stallholders, including Kathy and Jackie, are given summons for unlicensed trading. Arthur takes the record to Simon and asks him to play it in the Vic. Charlie is forced to hide in the Vic when Nick almost spots him with the plate of food. Charlie puts the food on the side and goes to the toilet. Grant notices the unsupervised shepherd's pie and takes it and eats it! Simon visits Cindy and tells her he loves her and not Sharon and that he cannot even tell Sharon he loves her. Cindy is unfazed by Simon and tries to get rid of him. Jabbar meets up with Shireen. The pair are upset they cannot marry. Charlie learns that Grant has eaten the shepherd's pie and stalks him. Grant notices he is being stalked by Charlie and threatens him, so Charlie leaves him alone. Simon plays the record and it is deemed a poor piece of music by the residents. Pete and the other stallholders are alerted to an article in the newspaper about an application for planning permission to build a shopping precinct where the stalls are being removed. Charlie tells Dot what has happened. Grant goes into the Vic and criticises the shepherd's pie, claiming it has made him feel ill. Nick makes tea for himself, Charlie and Dot. Dot asks for some biscuits and whilst Nick is gone, Charlie swaps the teas. When Nick returns, he notices the teas have been swapped and tells Charlie that he has Dot's tea. Arthur buries Wilfred's belongings back on the allotments as he ends his obsession with the history of the allotments. |
