Further details
The first Rittle man has died in battle and, never one to look a gift horse in the mouth, Bert makes a move on the dead man's attractive widow, Gwyneth. A horrified Agnes quickly nips the charm offensive in the bud, and Bert realises if he wants to drop his trousers he's also going to have to drop his standards.
Elsewhere, George sparks controversy when it turns out he doesn't believe in corporal punishment, leading to a terse one-on-one with the Headmaster, while Cecil struggles to find a plumber to fix the cottage's brown water problem. And just when you think the boys' popularity can't plummet any further, the episode's end confirms that yes, yes it can.
