This episode has a very different feel to those that have gone before it.

Mildred's purple phase is now over, and everything has been green dipped, much to Miss Milton's annoyance. Cissie returns drunk in a taxi, after having been to her Uncle's funeral. Driven back by Himey, Cissie has treated him to Steak and chips and given him a big tip, Flora is suspicious as Cissie left in the morning with a Sardine sandwich and 2p. A drunken Cissie informs everyone that she is an heiress, and been left £10,000. A manipulative and particularly nasty Flora gains control over Cissie's money, and even tricks Cissie at a Solicitor's Office to sign over control of the money. Flora has been busy shopping, and bought herself a fur coat and hat, pencils for the ladies, personalised, and Cissie...a second's cardie. With the available funds Flora sets up Petty Enterprises, in the shed. A small loans company and leaves Cissie to man in, but all goes wrong when a soaked Flora returns to the Shed and all manor of disasters strike. Flora is incapacitated, but horrified when an angry Himey returns with the £10 note, which is signed 'Albert Wiggins,' Flora's in trouble.

A really funny episode, Pat Coombs plays a drunken Cissie very well, it's the sheer nastiness of Flora here that makes it so funny, very differently written, I think this was as nasty as she got, but she got her just rewards.

Really easy viewing, nice and light, what I'd class as Sunday teatime sitcom. 8/10

Cissie returns from her uncle's funeral drunk and having given a large tip to the taxi driver as well as buying him lunch. When pressed by the ladies at Paradise Lodge Retirement Home, it seems that Cissie was left the princely sum of £10,000 by her late uncle. Cissie has little clue what he did apart from he did spend a lot of time in the shed.

Flora knowing the Cissie cannot handle such a vast sum of money gets control of it and starts to spend the money on herself such as buying a fur coat and hat. Flora also sets up a loans company in the garage of the home but comes a cropper when it starts to rain and the roof leaks.

However Cissie soon finds out why her uncle spent so much time in the garage as the taxi driver returns claiming that the £10 note given to him is a forgery. Flora is now in bother as she has been passing off dud notes.

Plenty of selfish conniving from Flora and Cissie gives Flora her comeuppance in the garage when the garage collapses, leaving Flora in bandages.
