An Open-and-Shut Case
8 May 2024
There is a shortage of workers in the factory, but those pickles need bottling.

Nellie and Eli rope in Lily and Walter to the pickle production line. Only Walter is not up to it, he could hardly life the vinegar.

Then there is the case of Walter's missing dentures. It seems they might have dropped into a jar of pickles.

Nellie and Eli have to race to get back the jars from the shops it was delivered to. Only a few bottles have already been sold so they need to track them down.

Roy Barraclough guest stars as the vicar who catches Nellie with the demon drink in the pub. Just a few of the cast who would later go on to appear in Coronation Street.

The plot is very much that of Granada sitcomland. Not all of it is very plausible, a production line of four people.

This was rather funny though and Edward Malin steals it as silent Walter.
