Synopsis

A Bit on the Side
Frank being out of work isn’t helping the family budget, so Aggie threatens to cut back on spending, including Frank’s beer money, unless he gets a job.

Alf’s garden needs weeding and the lawn cutting, so he suggests Frank helps out - for his beer money. It seems a good compromise, but they have forgotten that daughter Monica has been upsetting the neighbours, especially Mrs Clegghorn, by coming home drunk every night and creating a racket.

So it’s only after a few days in Alf’s garden that the man from DHSS arrives with information that Frank is moonlighting. There doesn’t look any way out of a certain prosecution, until Monica arrives home early and reveals some information of her own which changes the whole situation!

A Quiet Night In
As usual, money is tight in the Spratt household, so Aggie decides, with the help of the wise Alf, to stop Frank and Monica from going out every evening and squandering their money.

She wants a quiet family night in, with games, stories, and a chance to speak to Frank about their precarious relationship. After much protesting from Frank and Monica, they start the games, but then the interruptions start, from telephone calls to visits from roving Evangelists.

All this accumulates in so much noise and mayhem, that Aggie pays them all to go out for the night. Another typical uproarious evening with Frank and Aggie at their conflicting best.
