Billy has a new girlfriend, the stunningly beautiful 'Alison' ( Lynda Bellingham ). She has a most unusual hobby - she collects engagement rings. Billy is mad about her. There is just one problem - he is already engaged to Barbara. Billy decides to tell his fiancee he wants her out of his life. Unable to do this, he uses Mr. Shadrack as an intermediary...
Another idea from the 1963 movie that got recycled for the television series. Billy goes one further by quitting his job too. We see him looking for employment and being rejected each time to the tune 'Buddy Can You Spare A Time'. Of course things get back to normal at the end. Bellingham was busy at this time. She was married to Greg Smith, producer of the hit 'Confessions' sex farces.
Funniest moment - Sharrack's anger when Billy announces he is going to work for the Co-Op's funeral division, which also happens to be his biggest rival in the town.
