Series 9 Episode 8
Arthur's latest business venture is Daley Into Space, satellite dish installation. Arthur is buying all the equipment from Gunter, a German contact. When Ray struggles with the complex equipment and German instructions, Arthur tells Ray he knows an expert, Logie Lawson.
They visit Logie, whose house is fitted with seemingly faulty electrical equipment. Arthur offers Logie, a former criminal, a job as the dish installer. Logie seems confident the work should be easy. Arthur tells Logie that Ray will be helping him.
At the Winchester Arthur talks Dave into purchasing a dish at a reduced price. Later at the lock up, Arthur receives a call about a problem with a dish installation. Arthur drives to where Ray and Logie are installing a dish. Arthur informs them they are at the wrong house. They should be on the next street. The angry owner of the house arrives home and Arthur has to talk his way out of trouble.
Arthur is having doubts about Logie. Ray tells Arthur he took a new order for a dish from Franko "Fingers" Rossetti. Arthur panics and tells Ray that Fingers has a terrible temper and got his nickname from collecting peoples fingers. Arthur wants to cancel the job. Ray refuses. Ray tells Arthur he knows Fingers daughters, Sophia and Isabella. Arthur summises Ray took the job because he likes Sophia, which Ray dismisses as Sophia is married and Isabella was a child the last time he saw her.
Arthur and Ray arrive at Fingers house to witness him yelling at a man and telling him to never come back. The man drives away. Fingers is happy to see Ray and Arthur. Arthur is very nervous. A grown up Isabella says hello to Ray. It was her boyfriend her father told to leave. Fingers says he must protect his daughter. Arthur attempts to get out of the job by telling Fingers it is very expensive and he should find someone else. He dismisses Arthur's concerns.
Back at the lock up Arthur remains insistant Ray took the job because of an attraction to Isabella, which Ray denies. At the Winchester, Arthur, Dave and some customers watch the installed satalite TV in silence, as Logie can't get the sound working properly.
Ray meets Isabella. She asks him to find an old school friend, Steve Johnson, her boyfriend. Ray guesses Steve is the man Isabella's father chased from his house. She tells Ray she and Steve are going to get married but her father doesn't like him due to his past reputation. Isabella says Steve wants to end the relationship because of her father and she can't contact him. Arthur drives past and sees Ray and Isabella together and assumes they are on a date.
At the lock up Ray takes a call from Isabella. Arthur remains suspicious. Later, whilst Ray and Logie work on the installation, Arthur drinks with Fingers. Isabella sneaks out to Ray to ask for an update. He has no news yet. Fingers invites Arthur clay pigeon shooting. Arthur sees Ray climbing a ladder outside, assumes he is going to Isabella's room and rushes out to knock Ray off the ladder.
Later, Isabella leaves a letter for Ray before running away from home.
At the Winchester Ray nurses a sore head. Arthur tells Logie he needs a gun for clay pigeon shooting.
Ray locates Steve playing pool. Steve tells Ray he and Isabella are finished because of her father. The following day whilst Ray is installing the dish he is detained by Fingers men.
Logie gives Arthur a gun for clay pigeon shooting. Fingers tells Arthur he has invited some friends to his house later that night to watch football on his new dish. Arthur discovers the gun Logie gave him is an old antique. Fingers is amused and offers Arthur the use of his gun. Ray is brought to Fingers with the letter.
Back at the house Fingers questions Ray and threatens him. Ray tells him he has been helping Isabella and he isn't afraid of Fingers before leaving. Arthur can't stop Ray, leaving Arthur and Logie on their own. Ray returns to speak to Steve playing pool. He tells Steve Isabella has disappeared.
Logie only gets a few steps up the ladder before freezing and revealing he is afraid of heights. He won't let go of the ladder. Fingers tells Arthur he will be very upset if he and his friends can't watch the football match later. Fingers tells Arthur he can get to the roof through the attic. Arthur and Logie climb out the attic window onto the roof and Logie immediately freezes. They abandon their attempts to install the dish but find the attic window has closed and locked behind them, leaving them stranded on the roof.
Ray and Steve find Isabella at an old schoold hang out. Steve tells Isabella he didn't want them to break up, but her father will never accept him. Isabella says they never have to see her father again but Ray intervenes. Ray returns to see Fingers to tell him Isabella is leaving home to marry Steve and will contact her father later. Fingers says if she runs off they are finished, but Ray argues the case for Steve and for Fingers to accept him for his daughters sake.
Up on the roof Arthur and Logie see Ray driving away. They try to get his attention but have no luck. Arthur and Logie use Logie's work uniform to create a help sign reading "Daley Plenty Panic." Finger's friends arrive for the football. Arthur begins to throw roof tiles down to the ground to attract attention. After being rescued Arthur apologises to Fingers, who points out the tiles only hit one car windscreen, which happens to be Arthur's Jaguar.
Ray returns with Isabella and Steve. Fingers hugs his daughter and shakes hands with Steve.
Before the football match begins Arthur apologises to Fingers friends for any inconvienience caused. When he turns on the TV the match is China vs South Korea. Fingers friends become restless. Arthur shouts up the chimney to Logie, who is strapped to the chimney on the roof, holding the satalite dish. He tilts the dish until the channel changes and Italy come on the TV. Ray tells Arthur that Logie will freeze to death. Arthur says they will take him some soup at half time.
