Further details
Sent as Grandad's emissary, Toof has come to negotiate Chesney's future. But when he reveals his plan to shut the shop and take Chesney back to Bradford, Chesney refuses. The shop has been a prison to him for years, and it's time to strike out on his own and live life to the full. Toof tries to prove that Grandad's way is for Chesney's own good, while Patty persuades him to fight for the shop and see it as a springboard for the future. Taking Chesney home with him, Toof shows him what the future could hold - nice house, car, wife - but Chesney knows it all comes at a price: to be forever under the cosh of Grandad. At the brothel, business is going well, but the girls need time off and Lillian has to find new staff.
