Whilst Bill holds the voodoo cult in great respect, he's definitely not a witch doctor and he certainly does not need to invoke black magic to obtain tickets for the match between West Ham and Manchester United, nor to persuade Eddie to dance naked round an oak tree at midnight.

Eddie decides that Maple Terrace just isn't big enough to hold both the Booths and the Reynolds. But when he tries to organise a petition to "keep Maple Terrace white", his plans misfire - with hilarious results.

Eddie's birthday has arrived, but he's rather put out to find that Harold (Macmillan, naturally) hasn't sent him a card. Not until Bill turns up, that is.

The club concert is in the capable hands of Bill and Eddie, and optimistic as always, Eddie reckons on a success - especially if he can get the Duke of Edinburgh to attend and a star guest to perform.

The TUC Conference in Brighton provides Eddie with the ideal excuse for a week away from the wife. He is not too pleased though when Bill tells him that he will also be there attending the conference as a Conservative Party observer. However, the two decide to make the best of it when they find out that they are sharing the same small hotel with two attractive young ladies. Unfortunately, the simultaneous arrival of their wives, Joan and Barbie, and the two young ladies' husbands results in a swift change in the agenda.

After a row over babysitting duties, Joan locks away all of Eddie's clothes to stop him going to the darts final. But it takes more than that to stop Eddie Booth!

Despite the fact that Eddie is a staunch socialist and Bill is a true blue Conservative, there are many subjects on which they both agree. For instance, they are both against discrimination. When Bill tells Eddie that he was once refused a drink in a pub because of his colour, Eddie's British sense of justice and fair play is outraged and he sets out to prove that the opposite must be the case, with rather painful results.

The Saturday night dance at the Work's Social Club gives Eddie Booth the opportunity of proving that he is as good at the limbo as he is at anything else.

The rivalry between Eddie and Bill reaches boiling point when, in the grip of sale fever, they try to outwit each other in a desperate attempt to be first in the queue for the bedroom suite that their respective wives have set their hearts on. Strategy and vigilance is everything, so who is caught napping ?

When Eddie has to 'toe the Party line', it's more to do with the GPO than politics. Forced to share his telephone line with Bill and Barbie, it doesn't take long for him to get his wires crossed. When he overhears Bill talking about a plan to hijack him, he fears for his life and runs to the police for protection.

Eddie returns from holiday to find that somebody has commandeered his seat in the Lion and Lamb! Not only that, but the Co-op has been transformed into the Taj Mahal Emporium. With rumours that Fortnum and Mason's is about to become a Curry Centre, he decides enough is enough. Something has to be done.

With the news that the Reynolds household will soon be numbering three and with Bill bragging about "ringing the bell," Eddie devises a plan to prove his manhood. Brace yourself for a master class in seduction.

Upon hearing of rumours that the establishment is haunted, Eddie takes up Bill's bet that he cannot spend a night alone at the club.

It is quite a shock for Joan and Eddie Booth when Mr and Mrs Reynolds move in as their next door neighbours.

An industrial dispute between Eddie and Bill at the factory causes a domestic dispute with their respective wives, Joan and Barbie. However, blood is thicker than water - as Eddie learns to his cost.

"Keeping up with the Reynolds'" is starting to prove difficult for Eddie, especially when Bill rolls out his newly acquired status symbol. Not to be outdone, Eddie invests in an automobile of his own, but it's not just the car that ends up on the scrap heap.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire! Having escaped the wives for the evening, Eddie and Bill find themselves trapped in a lift with Arthur and Jacko and no sign of rescue. Nerves start to fray but who will crack first ?

It's time for the club's annual holiday, and much to Eddie's objection, the boys and their families head off to Majorca. As usual, little goes in his favour, and he's soon behind bars - through no fault of his own!

Eddie intercepts a box of bananas intended for Bill, and unleashes the spider hidden within. Bill duly informs him that he seems to have been bitten, and has 3 days to live.

Jacko returns from holiday in a loved-up stupor. The gang are thrilled he's willing to pay for rounds but when he introduces the fantastically beautiful, busty young blonde Amy as his fiancée, Eddie is suspicious of her motives.

There comes a time in every husband's life when he is tempted to stray from the marital home: and Eddie and Bill are no exception - for the seven year itch has no colour bar. However, the trouble with an itch is that one is tempted to scratch it.

When Joan decides to make herself more attractive to her husband Eddie, she little realises that it will start off a chain of events which will bring the uneasy truth between them and Barbie and Bill into open warfare.

Joan and Barbie are now members of their own special "club" but just as Eddie thinks he's evened out the white to black ratio, a new neighbour looks to upset the balance. But who is moving in and who is moving out ?

The countdown to the big day has started but so have the rumours. Are Eddie and Bill really the fathers of their unborn children or has Specky Nuttall, the window cleaner, been doing more than he's being paid for ?

Trouble starts when Bill offers temporary accommodation to evicted friends and earns very black looks from Eddie, but they decide to settle their never ending differences in the old fashioned way ... with a duel at dawn. Nobby starts it all when he shows off his antique pistols at the club.
