Ray is facing court after accidentally taking a photo of a customer on the toilet and soon finds that his harsh demeanour may work against him. Meanwhile, Sandy is keen on the idea of a water birth.

Further details

Ray will not tolerate his staff consorting with the punters so he's determined to photograph Bobby at it with Pamela.

Unfortunately he photographs the wrong person, is accused of indecency and has to ask the staff to be character witnesses for him. If only someone actually liked him.

Martin decides to impress Christine by trying to look like her favourite pop star and Sandy enlists Mary's help in practising for a water birth.

Mary's knows all about these things. Her eldest, Bridie, had a water birth - on the log flume at Chessington World of Adventures.
