Further details
Ray has to give the punters his "Tony Christie" during the interval when the PA system breaks down. A talent scout for Stars in Their Eyes hears him and offers him a spot. Could this be Ray's chance to escape?
Bobby sets Martin up with a date in order to make Christine jealous. Unfortunately, the date, Jean, turns out to be in her early sixties, with a face like a prune. She also thinks "I've got no knickers on" is an attractive chat-up line.
Sandy is thinking of becoming Catholic so her unborn baby will be able to go to the local Catholic school - "it's slap bang in the middle of the Tanning shop and the bookies, so it's dead handy for Terry and me."
