Ep 1The New Neighbours
It is quite a shock for Joan and Eddie Booth when Mr and Mrs Reynolds move in as their next door neighbours.
Ep 2Limbo Dancing
The Saturday night dance at the Work's Social Club gives Eddie Booth the opportunity of proving that he is as good at the limbo as he is at anything else.
Ep 3The Petition
Eddie decides that Maple Terrace just isn't big enough to hold both the Booths and the Reynolds. But when he tries to organise a petition to "keep Maple Terrace white", his plans misfire - with hilarious results.
Ep 4The Factory Dispute
An industrial dispute between Eddie and Bill at the factory causes a domestic dispute with their respective wives, Joan and Barbie. However, blood is thicker than water - as Eddie learns to his cost.
Ep 5The Seven Year Itch
There comes a time in every husband's life when he is tempted to stray from the marital home: and Eddie and Bill are no exception - for the seven year itch has no colour bar. However, the trouble with an itch is that one is tempted to scratch it.
Ep 6Refused a Drink
Despite the fact that Eddie is a staunch socialist and Bill is a true blue Conservative, there are many subjects on which they both agree. For instance, they are both against discrimination. When Bill tells Eddie that he was once refused a drink in a pub because of his colour, Eddie's British sense of justice and fair play is outraged and he sets out to prove that the opposite must be the case, with rather painful results.
