Nearest And Dearest

When Eli and Nellie hear tell of Stan's win on the pools, they can't come up with a plan to get his cash fast enough. But unsurprisingly, all is not as it at first seems!

The Pledges are low on money - Nellie doesn't even think her premium bond gets put in the drum. It's not long before they overhear Stan on the phone: he's come into a few pounds, so they think he's the bloke in the paper who's won the pools.

Nellie and Eli decide that the only way they can get their hands on a few bob is to make him a director of Pledge's Purer Pickles. Stan however, sees it as a way to get to "Miss Nellie" and sets about seducing her, with the promise of sharing his windfall with her.

However, all turns sour. Stan's windfall isn't for half a million, but for a Corporation Folks flat, and he is soon sacked from the board.
