In Sickness and in Health - Season 4

Alf returns in a new series and in his usual lovable mood. In the first programme he attacks the council housing policy - and Mrs Hollingbery upstairs.

His drinking pal, Arthur, tries to convince Alf that he should make an effort to get along with Mrs Hollingbery. In fact Arthur suggests that Alf should marry Mrs Hollingbery - not a suggestion that appeals to Alf, although he can see there might be some rewards.

After all, she's not a bad cook and her pension could come in handy.

Arthur is still trying to convince Alf that he should get married again, to Mrs Hollingbery. Alf is toying with the idea, not so much for reasons of the heart, but rather because there is the opportunity to put two pensions together, and even the possibility of getting the house cheap off the loony left council.

Alf and Mrs Hollingbery are now engaged to be married and Alf has already started to enjoy her cooking. They treat Arthur, who thinks he's won the pools, to a celebration dinner. Naturally, Alf has to remind Arthur who his best friend is, as best friends share everything.

Alf and Mrs Hollingbery are Preparing for a trip to Australia to meet her rich brother, in the hope that he'll lend them money to buy their house cheap off the council once they are married. Alf, ever the romantic, Persuades Arthur , as best man, to go with them, so he can have someone to talk to. (Mrs Hollingbery 's company doesn't count). It could also have something to do with the fact that Alf is terrified of making the trip.
