Having been to see Ken Russell's 'The Music Lovers', Eric and Sharon go back to the Duffy family flat. Eric is feeling romantically inclined, but when Sharon spurns his advances they row. Dennis turns up, telling them Frankie is in hospital, having bayoneted himself in the foot.
While visiting him, Eric meets and is attracted to Staff Nurse Mary Taylor. He asks her to go on a date. She accepts.
Feeling cramped by always having to take girls back to his family home, Eric persuades Dennis to loan him his flat for the evening. Then Maureen gets wind of the situation...
Esmonde and Larbey in good form here. With the exception of Craven, the whole gang are featured. Frankie's mother is absent though; we are told that the shock of seeing her 'little soldier' in a hospital bed caused her to faint, knocking herself out cold ( why I do not know as she had seen him in hospital before - in the 'Please Sir!' episode 'Stitches & Hitches'.
Justine Lord, who plays the sexy Irish staff nurse, was also 'Hilary' in 'Two In Clover' and 'Sonia' in the classic 'Prisoner' episode 'The Girl Who Was Death'. Ian Stirling, cast as Frankie's C.O., went on to become a continuity announcer for Westward Television.
Funniest moment - Frankie threatening to hang himself with the cord of his dressing gown.
