Ken begins work on painting his front door to "helpful" advice from Val and Doreen. Jerry asks Doreen about dates that she and Sheila supposedly have and is taken in by her exaggerated description of them. Annie has gone to Derby for a few days. Martha tries to boast to Jack about her Lily and Wilf but it's clear that they're neglecting her. Elsie takes time off work to make sure the bailiffs can't get in. She rings the papers from the Rovers to get them to do a story on her protest.
