Seasons
Season 1
It is quite a shock for Joan and Eddie Booth when Mr and Mrs Reynolds move in as their next door neighbours.
Season 2
Eddie Booth's prejudices towards his black neighbours, Bill and Barbie Reynolds, have not lessened during the few months since we last saw him. When Bill and Barbie decide it is time to hold a housewarming, Eddie tries unsuccessfully to prevent his wife Joan from going, and does his best to sabotage the party.
Season 3
When Eddie has to 'toe the Party line', it's more to do with the GPO than politics. Forced to share his telephone line with Bill and Barbie, it doesn't take long for him to get his wires crossed. When he overhears Bill talking about a plan to hijack him, he fears for his life and runs to the police for protection.
Season 4
Joan 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 ?
Season 5
It's time for the club's annual holiday, and much to Eddie's objection, the boys and their families head off to Majorca. As usual, little goes in his favour, and he's soon behind bars - through no fault of his own!
Season 6
Joan's feeling frustrated with the routine of her life and Eddie's demands. Meanwhile, Bill sets up a few challenges of intellect and ability for Eddie, following an argument over who's paying for a round...
Season 7
Indulging his interest in famous crimes by purchasing a pair of handcuffs reported to have been used to arrest Dr. Crippen, Jacko tests them out on Eddie and Bill. Unfortunately he hasn't brought a key!
Season 8
When a local by-election comes round, it's time for all good men to come to the aid of the party. It's obvious which party Eddie is going to support ... or is it ? He's always leaned a bit to the left - but blood is thicker than water!
