Once again money is tight in the Butler household, and Stan cannot secure overtime as Blakey wants conductors not drivers. In desperation, he is forced to join the cleaning ladies. His first day in the job is not a success - he smashes a window on his own bus.

Back home, Arthur is behaving in a furtive manner. Struck on a sexy clippie named Beryl, he tries to attract her interest by wearing a wig...

A slight but amusing episode; best appreciated by middle-aged men with an alopecia ( baldness ) problem ( I'm sorry to say I include myself in this category ). No man likes to think of himself as losing his sex appeal, which is why many resort to the kind of desperate measures Arthur undertakes here. Of course, it fails miserably. Though Beryl is initially impressed, she sees through the deception when the doors to Stan's bus unexpectedly close, trapping Arthur's head, and causing the wig to fall off.

Good work from Michael Robbins, particularly when he tries to justify buying the wigs. "When I came here, I had a full set of hair. I want it back!".

Funniest moment - our first sight of Stan in his 'Mrs.Mopp' gear!

Arthur is smitten by Beryl, a gorgeous clippie at the depot, however she only seems to be interested in men who have a full head of hair. In desperation, he buys wigs to impress her but, as expected, he is found out.

Meanwhile, with money as tight as ever for, Stan is forced to take on extra work at the depot. Indeed, one such job is a cleaning job as one of the cleaners is off sick...

A funny episode probably not enjoyed by those who are going thin on top. Michael Robbins is on good form here, particularly with a scene in which Arthur is in denial about his baldness. 'Coronation Street' actress Alex Marshall plays Beryl.

Funniest bit - Stan accidentally breaking the window on his bus with a broom handle!
