The ReviewBrief: While excruciating stomach cramps and a
constant diet of health salts might drive some people to visit the
doctor, not our Del! Oh no, he's only suffering from that scourge
of all yuppies, PMA- Positive Mental Attitude! So, it's going to
require some nifty plotting to get Del to visit the dreaded "D"
word! At least Robbie Meadows is a mate who might tell him some
home truths. Transmitted: 05.02.1989 Duration: 50 minutes Viewing Figures: 18.2 million
Del is having stomach pains. It could be his new fast-paced
Yuppy lifestyle, or it could the eviction notice demanding three
months worth of unpaid rent up front.
TITCO hasn't been successful and the pressure's on to raise
the cash.
The solution presents itself in the shape of Uncle Albert's
lady-friend Elsie Partridge, a medium who lives off payments for
her amazing predictions.
Del thinks it's a load of mumbo-jumbo, but sets up a seance
room in The Nags Head. Albert, worried for Del's health tells Elsie
to say his Mum has contacted her asking him to go the doctor.
When Marlene falls pregnant, just as Elsie foresaw, Del takes
heed and is prescribed with irritable bowl syndrome. When he gets
home Rodney has another shock for him: He and Cassie are
engaged.
