Spanish Fly

As Shirley and Ken belittle Wolfie's efforts to start a revolt he tells them that he has written letters of support to revolutionaries in other countries and, as a result, receives a visit from Jose Alvarez, leader of the Bilbao Liberation Movement, who promises him soldiers and vehicles. Dad is delighted and sees Jose, whose father is an aristocrat, as a suitable husband for Shirley, but Wolfie is less enchanted when he learns that Jose's father has disowned him and he is seeking funds because his own revolutionary outfit is as pitiful and cash-starved as Wolfie's. Originally scheduled for broadcast on 29 December 1978, its place was taken by "Working Class Hero" due to industrial disputes and it eventually aired the following summer, just over a month before the beginning of Series 3.
