Nearest And Dearest

Nellie is asked to run the Spread Eagle pub while the landlord is away. Much to her disgust, Eli comes up with a scheme for a nude dancer.

Whilst the landlord is away, Nellie has been asked to mind the bar at the Spread Eagle. However, after Eli and Stan take advantage of the free beer barrels in the cellar, she soon bars everyone from drinking in there. Three days later, the only customer she's had is Eli, and that's only because his money ran out in the Queens Arms up the road.

They both hatch a scheme to get the punters back in: hire a stripper! Nellie won't do it, Eli doesn't want Lily to do it, ("we want a sex kitten, not a mangy bloody moggy!"), and so it's down to Big Beryl to get her kit off. But Beryl can't bring herself to do it in front of a live audience - it's taken three hours for Eli to get her coat off - so Eli shows her how to do it, just as the police bust them all for after hours drinking!
