The Royle Family - Barbara's Old Ring

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at the Royles' and Barbara's gone overboard with the presents. "If you can't spoil your family at Christmas when can you?" she asks, having spent a whole two hours in Poundland.

A new neighbour moves on to the street with an impressive cleavage but will she be welcome on the sofa?

In a flash of seasonal entrepreneurial spirit Dave reveals the idea he intends to pitch to Dragon's Den. Will it take off and make them rich? Or is Jim's scratch card more likely to bring in the Christmas cheer?

Joe, next door, is looking for love and places an advert in the Lonely Hearts column, 'Vacant Lady Wanted'. Who could resist?
