Series 4, Episode 6 - The Mayor Of Northolt

A faulty streetlight outside Stanley and Ella's bedroom is keeping them awake at night, but getting the Council to mend it is proving impossible.

Further details

George stands for Mayor, promising to fix the streetlight if elected, only to find that his opponent is the over-confident Piers, whose mistake is to treat George as a joke candidate with no chance of winning. George wins unanimous approval when the voters respond positively to his refreshingly honest approach. Unfortunately the pressures of Mayoral Office put an unreasonable strain on his marriage and his resignation follows his election within 24 hours.
