Further details
Jerry gets the 'all clear' from the hospital only to be told by Brian that The Phoenix will be staging Talent Trek... because Brian told the committee Jerry was dying!
'Les Alanos' are unavailable so Brian drafts in 'Right Said Frank' who turn out to be thieves who steal from cars during the intervals. This leads to a mass brawl between the tribute band and Max & Paddy.
Brian reveals fake test results that give Jerry the 'all clear' and so Jerry decides to stay on at The Phoenix. The series ends with jealous rival club owner Den Perry discarding one of his cigars into a toilet waste paper basket that causes a fire to break out...
