Further details

In this last episode of the current series of Burnistoun there's a problem for Burnistoun's Housing Association when a resident complains about a strange presence in his house; a gullible customer at a car boot sale gets fleeced over a denim jacket; and a couple who met on the TV show Blind Date seem unable to forget the experience.

Peter and Scott's rivalry intensifies as they try to decide who's the alpha male in their relationship; the two old ladies, May and Nan, have an argument over numbers at the bingo which erupts into violence; and Burnistoun's own caped crusader, Doberman Man, shows off his trophy cave to his new side-kick, Doberman Man Woman.

Finally, Paul and Walter's attempts to sell ice cream on the beach in the height of winter end in comic tragedy.
