Series 9

Shelley is looking for new digs, and lands up at the home of Ted Bishop where a room is up for rent at a very reasonable cost. The only problem is that developers are closing in on the old man's house.

Ted's chances of beating the developers are helped when a TV company come to visit and interview him about his plight. Ted lays on his full poor-old-man act for cameras, but can't help noticing with his one good eye that the female reporter, Sue, just might make a good match for the love-starved Shelley.

Ted's 'old boys' stop by for a visit, and seem to have fun reminiscing about all their past indiscretions. Meanwhile, Shelley seeks some peaceful sanctuary at his new local pub, but finds it a great deal more 'peaceful' than even he'd imagined.

Ted can't help but notice that Shelley seems to be on a lucky streak. With luck like this, where can he go wrong. The betting shop somehow seems to be beckoning, but will Shelley's good run of form still continue?

Shelley's old friend Phil shows up and is in need of a best man for his latest wedding. Is Shelley first choice for best man?

Shelley is troubled by his recurring and disturbing dream of standing in a supermarket checkout line and seeks professional help. Following expert analysis, could it be that he finds he is more sane than his psychiatrist?
