1 An Errand Boy by the Ear 30 min | Mar 21, 1982

There are protests when Arkwright is caught dragging Granville around by his ear. Whilst Arkwright reasons that this is what errand boys are for the customers choose to differ and force Arkwright to improve his nephew's lot in life.

2 The Ginger Men 29 min | Mar 28, 1982

When Arkwright finds himself with a surplus of Jamaican Ginger cakes he tries various marketing ploys in order to sell them off, but hits the jackpot when he claims that the cakes contain drugs, which has the customers fighting to get at them.

3 Duet for Solo Bicycle 29 min | Apr 04, 1982

When a smartly-dressed man comes to the shop asking for directions, Arkwright is concerned that the love of his life is seeing another whilst Granville's love life is also suffering. It is bad enough that when he accompanies Wendy he only has a bike with which to impress her - but the bike has a squeak, which he can't get rid of.

4 How to Ignite Your Errand Boy 30 min | Apr 11, 1982

Arkwright considers yet another money-making scheme. Everybody seems to want fire-lighters in the winter so he can save cash by making his own - or rather getting Granville to make them in the shed at the back. With explosive results.

5 The Man from Down Under 30 min | Apr 18, 1982

Arkwright learns that a former beau of Nurse Gladys is returning from Australia, where he emigrated a couple of decades ago to make his fortune. Naturally Arkwright is not happy to think that Nurse Gladys might be tempted by her old flame and sets about to take drastic action with the man he believes to be his rival.

6 The Cool Cocoa Tin Lid 29 min | Apr 25, 1982

Fed up with always wearing tank-tops and shop pinnies Granville decides to court a cool image. He gets a pair of shades and a nice fashionable shirt, but all that stops him from being the archetypal medallion man is a medallion. Perhaps a cocoa tin lid can provide a substitute.
