1Hines' SightJoan and Barbie are now members of their own special "club" but just as Eddie thinks he's evened out the white to black ratio, a new neighbour looks to upset the balance. But who is moving in and who is moving out ?
2FriendlyEddie's day is slowly going from bad to worse. First he's had to do the housework, then Manchester United, his beloved team, have lost 3-0 and now Bill has won the top prize of a trip to Paris in the Social Club raffle. With an extra ticket up for grabs, Eddie begins his "Creep Your Way To Paris" campaign.
3Working on New Year's EveEddie and Bill have been called into work on New Year's Eve, leaving the very pregnant Joan and Barbie alone at home. Not one to miss out on a good celebration Eddie decides to throw a party at the factory, whilst the wives are having problems with an intruder.
4Eddie's Mother-in-LawThere is only one person Eddie dislikes more than his next door neighbour and that's the mother-in-law. Mind you, the feeling is mutual; Joan's mother has never made a secret that she thinks her daughter married below her station. Ding ding, let the fight begin!
5The Ante-Natal ClinicAfter a Father's Evening at the antenatal clinic, Eddie and Bill strike up a bet: can Eddie last 24 hours without insulting his neighbour ? It's going to take an awful lot of willpower, especially as Bill is going out of his way to provoke a verbal attack.
6Two Weeks to BabiesThe countdown to the big day has started but so have the rumours. Are Eddie and Bill really the fathers of their unborn children or has Specky Nuttall, the window cleaner, been doing more than he's being paid for ?
7To the HospitalEddie is taking no chances on getting Joan safely and rapidly to the maternity hospital when the big moment arrives. He has borrowed a car and learnt the route inside out. Nothing but nothing can possibly go wrong ... but it does.
8The Big DayAt last the great day is here - Eddie and Bill are about to become fathers. True to tradition they decide to wet the babies' heads, as usual Eddie takes it one step too far...
