Following their latest dispute, Bill and Eddie run a poll to find out what people really think of black people in Britain. The new curate is introducing himself in the community, and challenges the pair to settle things in the ring!

Eddie and Bill have been called into work on New Year's Eve, leaving the very pregnant Joan and Barbie alone at home. Not one to miss out on a good celebration Eddie decides to throw a party at the factory, whilst the wives are having problems with an intruder.

Joan is fed up with not having a holiday, and with Eddie hanging round all day, she books a coach outing to Bournemouth without letting him know. But there are two snags to her scheme...

Eddie Booth's prejudices towards his black neighbours, Bill and Barbie Reynolds, have not lessened during the few months since we last saw him. When Bill and Barbie decide it is time to hold a housewarming, Eddie tries unsuccessfully to prevent his wife Joan from going, and does his best to sabotage the party.

Eddie's staunch socialist, trade unionism brings relations to a head. He's outraged that Bill should want to do an honest day's work; for Bill his attitude is the last straw, and he vows never to return to the club.

There is much jubilation at the departure of "Clarkey", the foreman of the factory where Eddie and Bill work. The Management decide that it will serve their interests best if they promote their most idle, difficult, loudmouthed and bigoted troublemaker. The choice is obvious.

Eddie is the last person in the world you would expect to be caught up in a wave of religious fervour. However, when a group of revivalists call on him on Sunday morning, he is quick to answer. At first, his wife Joan is pleased at the transformation in his character, but when his enthusiasm changes to fanaticism, she enlists the help of Bill and Barbie to bring him back down to earth.

Eddie's day is slowly going from bad to worse. First he's had to do the housework, then Manchester United, his beloved team, have lost 3-0 and now Bill has won the top prize of a trip to Paris in the Social Club raffle. With an extra ticket up for grabs, Eddie begins his "Creep Your Way To Paris" campaign.

Eddie and Bill are both somewhat enamoured by the new busty blonde assistant at the barbers. She uses their lust to her own advantage to get the stocktaking done on a Sunday morning - but with conflicting stories of their whereabouts, Barbie and Joan are searching for them.

Joan's feeling frustrated with the routine of her life and Eddie's demands. Meanwhile, Bill sets up a few challenges of intellect and ability for Eddie, following an argument over who's paying for a round...

Eddie's investigating his ancestry, and is convinced of a royal connection, somewhere. Bill decides to offer a helping hand...

The TUC Conference is just around the corner, and Eddie plans to attend with his rather attractive female opposite from the bra factory up the road. But first he must be re-elected as shop steward, and Joan suggests Bill stand against him.

Finding a sense of outrage at bureaucracy, Eddie resolves to sort out a problem Bill's having with the electricity board. Unfortunately, his ungracious manner only makes things worse when they come into contact with a series of black bosses and workmen!

There is only one person Eddie dislikes more than his next door neighbour and that's the mother-in-law. Mind you, the feeling is mutual; Joan's mother has never made a secret that she thinks her daughter married below her station. Ding ding, let the fight begin!

Eddie is taking no chances on getting Joan safely and rapidly to the maternity hospital when the big moment arrives. He has borrowed a car and learnt the route inside out. Nothing but nothing can possibly go wrong ... but it does.

At last the great day is here - Eddie and Bill are about to become fathers. True to tradition they decide to wet the babies' heads, as usual Eddie takes it one step too far...

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.

Joan and Barbie decide to earn a little extra by going out to work on Saturdays. This leaves Eddie and Bill holding their babies and threatens their regular visits to football matches. A couple of nannies are brought in to rescue them and somehow the match gets forgotten! Eddie and Bill both end up penalised...

With the Cup Final replay on a weekday - Bill's West Ham versus Eddie's beloved Manchester United, the pair have managed to get themselves signed off work, sick. But Joan and Barbie are wise to their scheme and intend to get something in exchange.

It's time for the showdown between Eddie's 'snowflakes' and Bill's 'Sambos'. Maple Terrace braces itself for war! Will Eddie keep the Lion and Lamb white ? Will Bill use black magic ? Will Jacko ever buy a round ?

After a Father's Evening at the antenatal clinic, Eddie and Bill strike up a bet: can Eddie last 24 hours without insulting his neighbour ? It's going to take an awful lot of willpower, especially as Bill is going out of his way to provoke a verbal attack.

Bill has bought Barbie a ticket to visit her mother back home in Barbados, but his plan to live like a bachelor for 2 weeks falls on its face when it's revealed that he will be staying with Joan and Eddie for the duration. That is, if the plane ticket can be found...

With £59 left on the club's books at the end of the financial year, it's decided to put the cash toward a special Ladies' Night - complete with a dressing theme of 'Lady and the Tramp'.

When a local by-election comes round, it's time for all good men to come to the aid of the party. It's obvious which party Eddie is going to support ... or is it ? He's always leaned a bit to the left - but blood is thicker than water!

Following a comment about virility, Eddie and Bill are competing to grow moustaches and prove their machismo. Meanwhile, Barbie talks Joan into making some extra money by becoming a fellow agent for her catalogue club.
