Radio Times: Pat saves the day.

Marjorie’s been to see Alistair’s stand-in, Mr Craig, about Portia who is getting on a bit and has had several tests done to try and see what exactly ails her.

Clarrie takes Pat up on her offer of an advance on her wages to buy a new machine.

They agree that getting around a table is required – and soon.
