1. The Phone

Friday 5^th January 1968

When Alf loses money on a horse because Mike couldn't get in the phone box to place the bet, he reluctantly agrees to having one installed in their home. After being wound up by Mike pretending to be the operator, he is further irritated when Else invites one of the neighbours round to call the hospital - and turns down his beloved TV!

2. The Blood Donor

Friday 12^th January 1968

Mike thinks that Alf is scared to give blood and so places a bet with him that, even if he did give blood, it would be rejected. Alf rises to the challenge but is worried that his blood will be given to people who are not worthy of it - he dreams of a member of the Royal Family might be a recipient!
