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.

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.

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.

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 ?

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.

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.

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.

"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.

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.

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 ?

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 ?

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.

Indulging his interest in famous crimes by purchasing a pair of handcuffs reported to have been used to arrest Dr. Crippen, Jacko tests them out on Eddie and Bill. Unfortunately he hasn't brought a key!

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'.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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...

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.

Whilst planning for the annual Christmas Eve darts match, Eddie and Bill challenge each other to a drinking contest. As Joan warns him, drunkenness always gives Eddie nightmares and it's not long before he's on a desert island...

Eddie's determined to sell the house and leave Twickenham for his beloved homeland of Manchester. Joan is far less than enthusiastic, but can anything halt the sale?

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!

With Nobby collecting for charity, Eddie is inspired to suggest 'foster parents for homeless down-and-outs'. Then he's introduced to old tramp Albert...
