Jack Harry Teesdale and his wife love to go caravanning each weekend - but she hates coming back, when his reverse parking causes constant arguments between them. Determined to help, Seymour enlists Compo and Clegg to put things right.
Compo becomes curious when Nora Batty goes out midweek all dressed up without wrinkles in her stockings. Jealousy erupts when he sees her in The White Horse Pub with a strange man.
The village gathers to celebrate a golden wedding anniversary. All goes well until the men decide to ditch the party and take the tee-totaling husband to a pub for a "marriage break".
Seymour, Compo and Norman want to fly a kite. Seymour designs a kite but his brother-in-law, Wesley, uses the wrong measurements to build it. The women's morning coffee and gossip group share more of their twisted views on men.
Compo is going to give a show in the church hall with his "performing" ferrets. Seymour and Norman take Compo last minute Christmas shopping for a present for Nora Batty. Howard attempts to give Marina a present without Pearl finding out.
