Citizen James

Series 1, Episode 4 - The Money

Liz entrusts Sid with £300 takings in cash to pay into her account before the weekend. Despite his best intentions, en route from her club to the bank he's enticed to show it off a little, just to reassure his creditors for another few weeks. Or months. But a heated argument with Albert soon leads him to place a rather unwise bet.
