When Eddie has to 'toe the Party line', it's more to do with the GPO than politics. Forced to share his telephone line with Bill and Barbie, it doesn't take long for Eddie to get his wires crossed. When he overhears Bill talking about a plan to hi-jack him, Eddie fears for his life and runs to the police for protection.

"Keeping up with the Reynolds'" is starting to prove difficult for Eddie, especially when Bill rolls out his newly acquired status symbol. Not to be out done, Eddie invests in an automobile of his own, but it's not just the car that ends up on the scrap heap.

Eddie returns from holiday to find that somebody has commandeered his seat in the Lion and Lamb! Not only that, but the Co-op has been transformed into the Taj Mahal Emporium. With rumours that Fortnum and Mason's is about to become a Curry Centre, Eddie decides enough is enough. Something has to be done.
