After a Father's Evening at the Antenatal Clinic, Eddie and Bill strike up a bet: can Eddie last 24 hours without insulting his neighbour? It's going to take an awful lot of willpower, especially as Bill is going out of his way to provoke a verbal attack.

The countdown to the big day has stated but so have the rumours. Are Eddie and Bill really the fathers of their unborn children or has Specky Nuttall, the window cleaner, been doing more than he's being paid for?

Eddie is taking no chances on getting Joan safely and rapidly to the maternity hospital when the big moment arrives. He has borrowed a car and learnt the route inside out. Nothing, but nothing, can possibly go wrong ... but it does.
