The Walkers plan a free and easy with their new license. Elsie takes £9 off Len for his food per week. Sgt Bowden takes over the district and meets the residents. Annie brings in Howard Seymour to be the pianist but Jack sacks him when he refuses to play pub music and employs Alf Chadwick. During the party someone stops the clock. Ena and Minnie keep watch on Len's comings and goings at No.11. Bowden books Jack for serving after hours.
