Reg and Irene are constantly kept awake at night by a flickering street lamp outside their bedroom window. Reg has been in touch several times with the council to rectify the problem but they keep delaying the matter.
Acting on advice given to him by Len and Wol ( does he never learn? ), Reg refuses to pay his rates unless the council fix the lamp. It all turns into a nightmare when he receives a summons to court for refusal to pay the rates!
The script for this episode makes mostly for enjoyable reading, especially at the moment where Reg is said to have been throwing books out of the window at the lamp. However, when the comedy moves to the courtroom, that is when interest starts to wane.
Funniest bit - Reg climbing a ladder, hammer in hand, to the top the street lamp to smash it, however the rungs break under his weight and he goes plummeting to the ground!
