Series 6, Episode 6 - Serenade For Tight Jeans And Metal Detector

Forced by the laws of decency to replace his well-worn trousers, Compo unwillingly visits the local second-hand shop in search of a serviceable pair of jeans. However, it is Clegg who really makes the unexpected purchase of the day when he's attracted by a special line in early 40s electronics.
