Eyes Down: Series 2, Episode 3 - British Comedy Guide (original) (raw)

Ray gets in a spot of bother after boasting about his miraculous rescue of a snatched handbag. Mary in particular is none too pleased about his claims. Meanwhile, Bobby has trouble getting Sandy fit, and Martin finally plucks up the courage to ask Christine out.

Further details

Following a memo from headquarters, Ray implements a new security regime after a spate of recent robberies. A further robbery leads to Ray giving chase down the back alley to stop the thief, which leaves him to fend him off with a Barbie doll. Ray thinks it's lights out for him, until out of nowhere Mary knocks the thief to the ground.

Once the police arrive, Ray takes all the credit. After the press get a hold of the story, Ray is to receive an award for Citizen Of The Year, but Mary refuses to keep quiet.

Meanwhile, Martin asks Christine out on a date, though not a fancy restaurant but the bingo's diner. But Christine has a dilemma: on the same night, her ex-husband returns and wants her back. Who will she choose?
