In Sickness and In Health

Episode 3 (4x3)

Air date: Sep 21, 1989

Alf prepares a lavish meal for Arthur who has just come up with eight score draws on the football pools. Unfortunately he has won nothing as his stupid wife failed to post the coupon. There is further despondency as Alf realises he may be too old to acquire a mortgage to buy the house and the idea of his adopting Pele,who'll get it for him,does not appeal. Fortunately salvation arrives when Mrs Hollingbery gets a letter from her brother in Australia,who is happy to buy the house for her - providing that he meets and approves of the groom-to-be.
