One of Ronnie Barker's Seven Of One pilots, I'll Fly You For A Quid follows the Welsh valleys' Owen family. In a village with a predeliction for gambling, the Owens are particularly keen - much to annoyance of new Minister, Mr. Simmonds.
After Grandpa Owen dies peacefully one Monday afternoon, his son Evan realises he held a winning triple accumulator betting slip - now worth almost £850.
However, with the house fruitlessly turned upside-down in search of the ticket, Evan and his own son, Mortlake, are resigned to it still being in Grandpa's grasp. Will Evan or anyone else in the family have the nerve to open the coffin and find out?
