    There was a little bit of 'Only Fools and Horses' in the resolution of this episode as Peter is pulled over by the police for drink- driving.

    Peter has been down in the pub with his mates who refuse to let him leave even though he has made plans with Sheila to go and see the new Robert Redford movie.

    When he does get away he finds he cannot move his car as it has been blocked by another car and trying to move it is of no use. When he finally manages to get away he is stopped by the police.

    Again there is use of slapstick as Peter tries to move the offending car, the police station scenes as Peter tries to give a sample is amusing. The biggest laugh is Peter's drinking friend who does not fancy a rival pub because he does not fancy the barmaids there. The pub they are drinking in had Bella Emberg pulling pints in a feathery blue outfit!
