The Medfords get new neighbours - Tarquin and Melinda. Terry is concerned about his lawnmower as the previous tenant did not return it to him before he left. Tarquin refuses to return it as it has been signed for as part of their household inventory. Terry decides, with the help of his nephew Alan, to do a night time raid on the neighbours' garden shed to get it back!

Terry and June pay a visit to Alan's pub and end up running it with disastrous consequences.

Tarquin and Melinda pay a visit to show their home movies. This gives Terry the idea to buy a tent from a work colleague so June and him can go camping. As a trial they set up the tent in the back garden.

Terry decides to take up woodworking, while Tarquin sets up a noise abatement group to try and curb noise from a neighbour who is learning to play the drums.

Sir Dennis is keen to capture the European market and lunches with Swiss businessman Mr. Henri. Malcolm and Terry then both lie and impress Sir Dennis by telling him that they regularly watch European TV via their satellite dishes.
