The Beachcombers

Runt O' the Litter (2x20)

Air date: Mar 03, 1974

Relic's father, a ferocious old Welsh coal miner, descends on Gibsons unannounced, and sets out to make a success of his ne'er-do-well son by taking over Molly's Reach and Adonidas and Associates. Ol' Da's unprincipled methods make Relic look like a Boy Scout by comparison. Finally, at Relic's instigation, the old man is bested by Nick in a contest of strength, but the beating Ol' Da takes moves Relic to a rare and generous act of family loyalty.
