| - It is the centenary of Dobson and Hawkes and all of the store managers have been instructed to celebrate the event in a way that drives up custom further. Sir Charles Dobson is concerned about only one store, Wally Hunt’s, and travels there himself to see what ideas they have come up with. To his non-surprise Leonard Swindley has been delegated with the task and his idea is to put on display items that were selling one hundred years before whereas Sir Charles is keen to capture the youth customer and bring to the chain, "a touch of Carnaby Street". He drags Hunt and Swindley along to a local club, "The Ravers Return", and points out two individuals getting to know each other very well on the dance floor and suggests that their ideas are used in whatever changes are implemented. The only problem is that the two youths, Roy Jackson and Valerie Wilkins, have just been given their notice by Swindley, he for having long hair and her for too short a skirt. He swallows his pride and re-employs the two with instructions to create a boutique that will attract the youth. They promise to come up with the goods and suggest that Swindley books a group for the opening to grab the crowds on their first day. Swindley uses an agent he knows who suggests that "The Moody's" are booked. The big day arrives and Hunt is very impressed with the new look of the displays, the clothes and the Expresso bar manned by a very trendily dressed Mrs Edgeley. As the crowds of youngsters chant outside and the police try to get the traffic moving, The Moody’s arrive - a tea-room trio of siblings Ethel, William and Reginald. It looks like another disaster but trends have moved on and the fickle youth have moved away from PVC macs and "dig" the genteel music of the trio and Swindley’s display of Victoriana.
