Mary comes over to check if Dave is there so they can bring in the dress and although Barbara suggests phoning her Jim intervenes and sends Antony. He then goes to do the washing up because he is sick of Norma's talking and when Antony comes back he is made to dry, Cheryl comes in with the dress and goes through. Dave then arrives and starts to talk to them about not drinking at The Pear Tree.

Back in the kitchen Jim notices Joe on his way round and quickly sit down as he comes in the door and they try and ask him some questions but he comes out with very simple answers. They offer him a damaged cake and he takes a bit. Eventually Mary comes in and tells them they can go back in and Joe follows Mary home.

The Antiques Roadshow starts and the men come in singing the theme tune and sit down to watch and place their bets on the prices of the antiques.

Jim comes down annoyed and offers to take Nana back but then Dave intervenes to offer to take her back later. Anthony then returns from the shop with some Crunchies and Cigarettes. Then Jim makes him get up and make a cup of tea while Dave teases Denise over his Crunchie Bar.
