Alvin: "And how's your mother keeping?" she asked. And their Bet says, "She's keeping away, and you can't ask for more than that."
Ivy: [peering round corner after Alvin and the woman] Who's that?
Nora: It's him from next door.
Ivy: Not him! Who's she?
Nora: Ooh, I've no idea.
Ivy: Oh, don't say that; you'll never be able to sleep.
Nora: It's no business of mine who he's with!
Ivy: I know that! But how are you going to find out?
Nora: I'll ask him. I don't believe in being sneaky.
Ivy: Oh? What about his right to privacy?
Nora: I don't believe in that much either.

Barry in Danger from Reading and Aunt Jessie

An episode where Roy Clarke deftly gives his large cast something to do.

He even manages to recall vintage episodes. The old boys go rolling down an hillside inside some barrels for no reason whatsoever.

Alvin decides to make Nora Batty jealous as he is seen walking in town with a blonde lady. She was his cousin but he is not telling Nora that.

Instead Alvin gets Billy to go in drag to keep the pretence up. What will Robin Hood say?

Barry manages to arouse the amorous intentions of lonely librarian Miss Davenport. He then tries to avoid meeting his Aunt Jessie.

Pearl and Nelly browse the classified ads in the local newspaper. Pearl is convinced that Howard has been passing on messages to Marina through them. Pearl and Nelly are in for a surprise when they go to the pub and encounter Mrs Golden Boy.

There were a few good barbs from Clegg in this episode. He replies the butler did it when Truly gazing at the Yorkshire Dales asks where did it all come from.
