Vicki is ecstatic when Dot buys her a car, but their happiness is short lived when they end up stranded in an industrial estate. Elsewhere, Jack has a job interview, and Sarah is trying to pull her weight by taking on the housework.
Pauline puts Joe on a diet and Dot buys Vicki a car which runs out of petrol in an unfamiliar part of town. Jack goes for an interview with the Barnsley Gazette but his over-confidence and obvious dependency on Sarah to prompt him let him down. Back in the pub the retiring editor of the Hebburn Advertiser offers him employment,which he accepts - but only after learning that Sarah is pregnant.—don @ minifie-1
