While complaining about his cheese roll in the pub, someone steals it. The thief turns out so be Paul 'Bunter' England (Warren Clarke) an old school friend of Shelley's who has been looking for him.
Bunter wants a bed for the night and Shelley is looking for a best man for his wedding. Ned has hopped it to Australia.
Shelley spends most of the episode bantering with the assistant in the second hand junk shop. None of the books Shelley is interested in has prices on them, the owner has nipped out and the assistant thinks Shelley might be a trader wanting to buy valuable books on the cheap. Shelley points out they were in a box stacked in the outside. They are unlikely to be valuable.
When Fran goes out to look for furniture in the junk shop, to Shelley's surprise she ends up buying almost the whole contents of the shop.
It is a reunion of a sorts. Both Hywel Bennett and Warren Clarke were in the landmark television series; Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.
They really got the junk shop look right. There used to several like those in my town, the bored assistant who was a bit clueless.
