A Bit of a Do

It is the day of Paul and Jennys wedding and their families must conceal their differences. Liz takes this to extremes by propositioning Ted and the two disappear to a hotel room at the reception. The day ends in violence and recrimination on all sides.

Ted and Liz attend the party as a couple which causes awkwardness amongst their family and friends. This is heightened when Laurence and Rita also put in an appearance. Ted is also blackmailed due to having cheated in a fishing tournament and shamefacedly resigns.

Tensions run high among the group for a variety of reasons. Rodney has purchased Teds foundry which causes no small degree of acrimony, Paul confesses to Jenny about his dalliance with Carol and protesters interrupt the beauty pageant. The evening climaxes with Neville and Liz agreeing to marry; much to the shock of Rita and Laurence.

Rita is marrying her politician boyfriend Jerry but her son Paul refuses to attend. Ted however does go to the church and cannot hide his amusement when Rita decides to jilt her fiance. He is also captivated by a new woman, Corinna, and Rodney and Betty announce that they will be opening a new health food shop.

It is the opening of Rodney and Bettys health food complex and Rita is unpopular due to her council work. She becomes even less popular with Liz when Rita declares that the new man in her life is Lizs brother. Ted meanwhile agrees to move with Corinna to East Africa to start a new life, and Elvis and Jenny become a couple.

Rita must face open hostility due to the unpopular ring road and also has to cope with the knowledge that her son Paul will be sent to prison for six months.

Rita is happily marrying Geoffrey and is shocked to find that Ted and Sandra are also getting married at the same registry office. Not everybody is happy however, as Jenny has left Elvis to return to Paul and Elviss only consolation comes when he is propositioned by Liz.
