David’s not looking forward to his meet up with Vince. Ruth tries to allay his worries but David would still like her to ring him after half an hour so he has a reason to leave. David’s surprised by what he learns about Vince during their chat. The Rolls Royce he drives he actually bought for his dad who kept it immaculate. They both share a household with their mothers – Vince built a granny annex for his 20 years ago.

Ruth calls David and hears that things are going OK with Vince – David doesn’t need rescuing like he thought. David’s relaxed in the knowledge that Elizabeth and Vince’s relationship is only a bit of fun. But then Vince makes it clear that he wants to do right by Elizabeth and asks David to help him out if he’s not on the right track. David half-heartedly agrees.

To Freddie’s surprise Eddie happily takes Roman’s place in the Christmas Show. But Eddie gives the reading a go, he’s not inspired by the words of Milton and isn’t sure if he can step in after all. Freddie pleads with Eddie, he really needs to show to go right. He reckons Nigel would be embarrassed by the state of things as they are. This gets Eddie thinking about his own dad. Freddie convinces Eddie to tell a tale about Joe instead of the Milton extract in the Christmas Show – first performance is tomorrow!
