High Hopes

Charlie's mother pays a visit, announcing that she is leaving for Australia to marry a kangaroo farmer who she met on a rugby trip. Will she take Charlie to Wagga Wagga with her? The unity of the Hepplewhite household is threatened.

Mam and Mrs Coles fall out big time and the Hepplewhites are banned from the shop.

Fagin is ordered by the Court to see a psychiatrist. The Hepplewhites rally round, and Sgt Ball gives his expert advice.

Fagin becomes the manager of wannabe pop idols Hoffman and Charlie. Claude and Sgt Ball form a rival duo. Can The Tealeaves outwit The Cops? Will the Hepplewhites be whisked off into a world of stardust and riches? Mam saves the day, or does she?

An old friend of Fagin turns up, and he feels obliged to help, despite his reservations.

The Hepplewhite family have a very odd day, encompassing an accident, a trip down memory lane, a mysterious stranger, a daring robbery, a stolen Dickie Bow and a vicious assault.
