Seasons
Ronnie's heard a rumour that brewery managing director Mr Parsons may be paying the pub a visit. Can their customers keep our hero in big with the brewery?
It's another very quiet night in The Prince of Denmark and Ronnie's wondering how they might drum up business; they've yet to even take enough to pay Steve and Polly's wages. Things start livening up slightly when a hoax fire call is made, and a pregnant lady and her husband turn up.
Saturday night in a pub can be noisy. Ronnie thinks chaps who play rugger are all right, but the football fans...
There's more to being a landlord than selling drinks: he's a shoulder, an ear, a mouth... When Ronnie attempts to console a fed-up face, he and Laura quickly assume the roles of marriage counsellor!
Ronnie has trouble with the flaps to the cellar, and the brewery's delivery men. Mr. Yates stops by to talk to the Corbetts afresh, and Ronnie's really put to the test when an impatient customer threatens violence.
Description
Ronnie and Laura Corbett have embarked on a new future - this time in the company of the Prince of Denmark, a public house that she has inherited. Ronnie's initially rather put out by Laura's being technically in charge; something which the brewery's delivery men are swift to pick up on! Her prior experience working behind a bar soon begins to rub off, but it's a slow learning curve for the diminutive busybody as he attempts to keep his pride in tact, his eye over everything, and his hand firmly on the tiller.
