Alf is surprised to learn that Ada has been buying goods for The Cafe off The High Street, paying retail prices, her aim, a free steam iron. Old friend Vic pops up with an offer that seems too good to be true.
Don't ask me why, but this one felt like an episode from an earlier time, it's a little more old fashioned, but there are a few amusing moments. Alf's annoyances and penny pinching ways are amusing.
I'm not sure if viewers now would know how those stamps worked. My parents had a full range of crystal glasses, all paid for with Green shield stamps, what a great idea that was, definitely better than Clubcard points.
Good to see Victor Madden back as Vic, although you'd think that Alf would have learned not to trust him after that whole fiasco with the darts match. They've managed to bring Vic back, but there's still no mention of any of the missing family, it's so strange.
6/10.
