In Sickness and in Health

Alf is still "sort of" engaged to Mrs Hollingbery, who continues to live and wage war from upstairs. Repairing a blocked kitchen sink does not put Alf in a good mood; nor does the arrival of Michael; nor does the car alarm or the road drill.

Alf decides to become one of Mrs Thatcher 's entrepreneurs. He enlists Michael's support in a car-parking scheme on match day and follows Norman Tebbit's advice by getting on his wheelchair to do a paper round. This takes him to the home of one of his team's favourite players, but not through the front door.

Alf is suffering from problems of old age. Just cutting his toenails turns into a major operation. The only joy in his day is when he hears about the discomfort of others - particularly Fred johnson.

Alf is still concerned about ill health, but this time it is Mrs Hollingbery 's ailments that worry him. His concern is not born out of tender feelings towards her - rather that her bad leg is a major inconvenience to him. Who's going to cook and clean for him?

Alf, never one to volunteer for anything, reluctantly agrees to move an old wardrobe out of Mrs Hollingbery 's room. But when a secret panel flies open to reveal an old briefcase stuffed with notes, he realises that the contents could completely change his life.

Alf, now a very rich man, sees life in an entirely new way. Money brings its problems, however.

Alf is still enjoying his new-found wealth. He can indulge in some of his favourite hobbies: drinking, eating and looking after himself. But how long will it last?
