When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Go Shopping

Forced by Ben's whim to unearth the garden barbecue, Bill accidentally pulls down the entire climbing rose display on Mrs. Grimes's house. During the hideous barbecue Ben reveals he has been summoned to the income tax inspectors, and Jenny turns vegetarian. While musing whether to ring the number she believes is that of the biker, now part of a huge papier-mâché dinosaur David has made, Bill is accidentally arrested in the supermarket for shoplifting. After returning home in triumph, she discovers the number is in fact that of a plumbing customer. Ben, meanwhile returns to reveal he has had a tax rebate.
