Series 3, Episode 7 - The Spy Who Left Me

A young foreign woman has been forced upon Brian by the pub's owner as his new barmaid, but she's far from natural to the role. Jim decides he might be able to find a better use for the Eastern European stranger - but 'strange' is certainly the key word when it comes to this particular bird!
