Duncan finds a baby on his doorstep along with the morning milk. A note attached identifies it as 'Baby Duncan'.
He and Dick try to pilfer nappies from the maternity ward, but Sister Raeburn catches them and forces them to practice midwifery on a toy baby. Needless to say, they are not good at the job.
Then Kate finds out and Duncan is forced to go on a quest to find the baby's real mother...
We've been here before, haven't we? A baby winds up in the care of confirmed bachelors, and just as they are getting the hang of its upkeep the mother returns and takes it back. The 1971 movie 'Steptoe & Son' had a scene like this incorporated into its storyline, and 'Rising Damp' did a plot along similar lines. David A.Yallop last worked on the show in its 'Doctor At Large' days. His script for the opening episode of the second season of 'Go' is amiable in spite of the over familiarity of the material.
Sue Nicholls, years away from becoming a regular on 'Coronation Street', appears as 'Lynne', one of Duncan's ex-girlfriends and a suspect in the search for the mother. 'Sister Raeburn' is our old friend Pat Nye, well remembered for battle axe roles in 'On The Buses' ( 'The Visit' ) and 'Please Sir' ( 'Out Of The Frying Pan' ).
One scene has not aged very well, however - an angry black father accusing his wife of adultery after finding a white child in place of his own.
The new titles were an improvement on the previous season's; instead of dull stills, we see X-ray photographs ( a skull, a knee, a hand, a chest, an elbow and a foot ) changing into the cast regulars.
Funniest moment - Duncan and Dick admiring the baby when Kate creeps up behind them, and asks: "Whose baby is it?". Together, the two men proudly reply: "Ours!".
