Nellie has had enough with her father Jed allowing late night drinking after hours. He could lose his licence and livelihood.
Nellie has had enough and walks out of the pub and rents a crummy flat. £40 a month rent, a princely ransom back in 1974. The telephone is outside the house. The central heating is a portable gas heater in the middle of the room.
The landlord is not quite the Rachmaninoff that Nellie describes him. Although Nellie manages to attract an Australian admirer.
Luckily Gilbert and George come to the rescue. They have a temporary vacancy at the flat upstairs to their shop. (It seems Nellie forgot about the rent she paid in advance.)
Jed though makes his own plans to get his daughter back to the pub.
A farcical episode but it is just not funny. The exception being Nellie flouncing about with some designer clothes.
The comedy is stale and tired even for 1970s standards.
