Further details
When Vincent receives a visit from a tax inspector pursuing him for unpaid tax, he decides that now would be a good time to get out of the showroom and spend more time with the family.
A trip to Southend doesn't go exactly as planned, though he still wins brownie points from his wife and kids.
Fitzpatrick and Lavender clash over the ethics of Page 3, when an opportunity to photograph Brendan-the-window-fitter's daughter for a tabloid competition arises.
Meanwhile Vincent's side-business, pirating copies of E.T. onto VHS in the backroom of the showroom, is still rolling out in his absence.
