Seasons
Arkwright tries all manner of things in order to get himself into Nurse Gladys Emmanuel's bedroom, including the use of a ladder and a box of chocolates. Meanwhile Granville takes to wearing tights on his head.
Arkwright is on the alert after Nurse Gladys Emmanuel and Granville tell him that a man from the Good Shop Guide is visiting shops in the area. It is only a ruse by Granville and Nurse Gladys to teach Arkwright a lesson in good manners. Nurse Gladys dresses up as a man and is on the receiving end of some very polite behaviour from Arkwright.
Granville takes a fancy to Stephanie ("with a P-H") who works in a boutique. He pretends that he is a young executive and that Arkwright is his assistant. Needless to say, Arkwright does not agree with this role-reversal.
Arkwright decides that to make Nurse Gladys Emmanuel jealous, he will advertise in the local paper for a live-in housekeeper. Unfortunately he is not prepared for Mrs Delphine Featherstone applying for the position!
Arkwright smugly offloads a lot of clothes-horses to an Asian rival shopkeeper. However, when his rival starts making large profits using the clothes-horses as bait for customers, Arkwright makes Granville dress up as an Asian woman so that he can buy the clothes-horses back.
