Season 2

Eddie Booth's prejudices towards his black neighbours, Bill and Barbie Reynolds, have not lessened during the few months since we last saw him. When Bill and Barbie decide it is time to hold a housewarming, Eddie tries unsuccessfully to prevent his wife Joan from going, and does his best to sabotage the party.

Whilst Bill holds the voodoo cult in great respect, he's definitely not a witch doctor and he certainly does not need to invoke black magic to obtain tickets for the match between West Ham and Manchester United, nor to persuade Eddie to dance naked round an oak tree at midnight.

There is much jubilation at the departure of "Clarkey", the foreman of the factory where Eddie and Bill work. The Management decide that it will serve their interests best if they promote their most idle, difficult, loudmouthed and bigoted troublemaker. The choice is obvious.

The rivalry between Eddie and Bill reaches boiling point when, in the grip of sale fever, they try to outwit each other in a desperate attempt to be first in the queue for the bedroom suite that their respective wives have set their hearts on. Strategy and vigilance is everything, so who is caught napping ?

The TUC Conference in Brighton provides Eddie with the ideal excuse for a week away from the wife. He is not too pleased though when Bill tells him that he will also be there attending the conference as a Conservative Party observer. However, the two decide to make the best of it when they find out that they are sharing the same small hotel with two attractive young ladies. Unfortunately, the simultaneous arrival of their wives, Joan and Barbie, and the two young ladies' husbands results in a swift change in the agenda.

Eddie is the last person in the world you would expect to be caught up in a wave of religious fervour. However, when a group of revivalists call on him on Sunday morning, he is quick to answer. At first, his wife Joan is pleased at the transformation in his character, but when his enthusiasm changes to fanaticism, she enlists the help of Bill and Barbie to bring him back down to earth.
