Further details
Removals men are busy at Phil's house as he and Edith make plans for their wedding. The one thing they are sure about is that Bob will be excluded from the event.
Roger tells Edith how he will miss her and then announces that he is in love with Georgie, Bob's daughter. Edith explodes at his lack of judgement, but after swiftly changing the subject, Roger gets her agreement for a wedding video, which he says will be his present to her and Phil. However, he then proceeds to put Georgie behind the camera.
