Further details
The Town Council building is under threat from a mysterious thief who keeps stealing all the toilet paper from the gentlemen's loos. This crime is very distracting for Gerald and his Health and Safety Team, who are hard at work designing a swing that is safe enough to be used in school playgrounds.
Meanwhile, back at the Wright household, Susan discovers she is being taken to a tribunal by a disgruntled ex-employer but, ever determined to get her dad back into the dating game, she still finds time to play cupid and tries to set him up with his colleague Malika.
However, when Malika asks Gerald out on a date, their potentially romantic evening is inevitably scuppered by Gerald's dedication to his job.
