Terry and June are moving to Purley and it seemed a good idea to redecorate the house before moving in. But then they learn of its sinister 'reputation'.

Guests are coming for drinks, but the new carpet has not been delivered. The new neighbours offer to save the day and have a friend get a rug. When Terry's work mate arrives and says the office has had its carpet stolen, Terry is determined to return what he thinks is the stolen carpet.

Terry's boss, Sir Dennis Hodge, is passionate about two things - work and bridge. When Sir Dennis' bridge partner quits, Terry volunteers to replace him. The problem ? Terry can't play. So, he buys some books and takes a crash course on the game.

When Terry sees some graffiti on a wall, he is disappointed by teenagers' inability to spell. He becomes depressed that the younger generation has no role models. The neighbours suggest that he help their nephew in a competition.

Late at night, Terry and June are reading and she is enjoying a horror story. When tapping starts on the window, she begs him to find out what it is. When he brings in a bird, she decides she wants pets of her own.
