Percy starts up an over-sixties' tea dance session at the Community Centre. Alf gets his friends at the Town Hall to contact Bob Statham. Brian is embarrassed when the drinkers at The Rovers give Liz Turnbull the cold shoulder. Statham is told by shop-keeping Councillors, who advertise with the Weatherfield Recorder, that they are angry at Ken's editing. He accuses Ken of upsetting influential people. Ken tells Alf that he's not going to be blackmailed by him; he will continue to criticise him for not doing his job. Gail leaves the children with Ivy whilst she has her hair done. She is annoyed to find Brian and Liz playing with Nicky when she returns. Brian is left alone with Sarah for a minute and can't help cooing over her.
