Danny Bakers autobiographical 1970s sitcom continues, and things are looking up: he's captain of the school football team during a cup run and Miss Blondel, the alluring French teacher who runs the photography club, seems to be receptive to his clumsy advances. But when forced to choose between his sporting and romantic ambitions, Danny's decision doesn't go down well with PE teacher Mr Glover (guest star John Henshaw). Elsewhere, dad Spud struggles to raise the tin required for Sharon's wedding.
