Series 3, Episode 6 - The Worst Horror Of All
Victor celebrates his return to work but is not pleased that his first day on the job involves a nasty case of vermin control. His bad luck continues that night, when Victor and Margaret visit the BBC with a virtually unconscious window cleaner they believe to be Mrs Warboy's cousin.
Further details
Victor is in A&E because the garden shed collapsed and fell on him. He's sat, sedated, with a fixed grin on his face (for a change!), and is laughing uncontrollably at everything he sees. While they're waiting for Victor's treatment, Jean asks Margaret to take her and Cousin Wilfred to a television recording, which they agree to. As Margaret drives to Jean's from hospital, she drives into a ladder and a man falls onto the roof of their car. When they arrive back to collect Cousin Wilfred, they come across the very concussed and confused man they accidentally picked up earlier. Thinking he's Cousin Wilfred, they take him to the studio where he sleeps throughout the filming and has to be carried to the car, still asleep. After suffering a poorly-attended and boring recording, they carry the man back into the car, still asleep. They arrive back at Jean's to find Cousin Wilfred whom they were supposed to have picked up! Victor finds a job, as a valet, but quickly loses his temper with a pretentious customer and after tolerating his manner for a few hours, is rude to him before walking out once again to glorious retirement.
