Another appearance by the Robin Hood infatuated Billy. I wonder if Roy Clarke wanted to have a few irons in the fire in case the character of Tom did not work out.
Shiftless Tom is popular with the older ladies as they remind him of Compo. Nora keeps smiling at him.
Tom wants to pass off Mrs Avery as a psychic even though she knows she is not one. She would rather prefer to cook at home. Tom also wants her niece Babs to start off in showbiz.
Meanwhile Barry is off to play golf, start his long climb up the greasy pole of management. Somehow he ends up looking for Babs in a rough pub and before you know it, Barry is dressed up as a rocker playing with Babs in a pub. Just a shame she cannot sing.
There is still an air of melancholy in these episodes. Everytime Compo glances you know he is missing Compo.
