Walter and Ada Bingley are celebrating their first wedding anniversary unaware that their friends and family are planning a surprise party for them
Ada brings Walter home for the first time, for a fish and chip supper. Leslie and Ruth come home early and are introduced to Walter in somewhat an unconventional manner - and worst of all for Ruth, he's wearing her late father's best suit.
Ada invites Walter for Sunday tea with the family, but when Mrs Bingley answers his front door the next day, are things as rosy as they have seemed?
Walter takes Ada for an 'off-white' weekend break in Bognor Regis. Ruth is far from amused and drags Leslie across the country to bring her back home.
Leslie wins 4 tickets to the Cup Final at Wembley. After car troubles on the way to the match, they make it to their seats just in time for the kick-off.
Annoyed with Walter's refusal to go to the dance at the Over 60s Club and his accepting overcooked pies from other women, Ada decides that the best course of action is to make him jealous.
Walter proposes to Ada, but struggles to find the money for the ring she likes. Their engagement gives Leslie the chance of an "early night" with Ruth!
Estimating needing £130 for their wedding and honeymoon, Ada gets a job as lavatory attendant at the town hall, and Walter is expecting a rise. But Ruth's none-too-pleased with her mother's new occupation, and the news Walter receives isn't exactly what he was hoping for.
Following a bit of interfering on Ada's part, Walter encourages Leslie to assert his masculinity by ordering Ruth upstairs with the intent of procreation. But far from doing her wifely duties, Ruth throws him out!
Leslie is offered a promotion, but it means he, Ada and Ruth would have to move to Coventry. Putting the house up for sale, Ada and Walter believe they don't have long left together...
It's Ada's birthday, and there's a bit of a clash between Walter's plans, Ada's plans, and the interfering Freda Skinner!
Whilst tending the grave of her late husband Sam, Leslie discovers that a mix-up has led to Sam being buried in a neighbouring plot, and that she's been keeping it neat and tidy for all of these years erroneously!
Tired of saving, and with Ada's generosity looking set to cost them even more, she and Walter decide that they should elope to Yorkshire and marry there.
The big day has finally arrived! Walter and Ada are at the church, but a small oversight on his part delays the ceremony. Luckily the delay gives time for Walter's son Albert to arrive and take his place as best man.
Ada and Walter are back from a happy honeymoon in Blackpool. Wedded bliss is short-lived, however, when his love of the wireless clashes with Ada's love of Coronation Street!
Whilst Ruth and Leslie go to visit his parents in Manchester, Ada and Walter spend some time with his son and daughter-in-law. Their strained relationship makes the visit a little more difficult than Ada is happy with.
Walter's almost arrested for shoplifting - in Leslie's supermarket!
Walter and Ada receive notice of eviction as the council intend to build a bypass where their house currently stands. Ada's adamant that they won't be moved to an 'overspill estate', and concocts a wild plan to ensure it...
Walter and Leslie sneak off to the pub for a Sunday drink; Ada and Ruth aren't too amused to find out that there wasn't, in fact, extra work to be done at the church.
It's the Queen's birthday and Ada's hoping for a personal reply to the birthday card she sent. Meanwhile, Ruth and Leslie are planning for and considering the implications of their baby.
Ada and Walter hear of a flat available for rent. The cost is more than reasonable, and it's not too far from the church or from Leslie and Ruth's; but the owner wants 6 months rent in advance. Where will they find that sort of money?
As Ruth appears to be going into labour, Ada and Walter are slightly troubled in their new home by the presence of a ghost.
Ada's convinced that the baby is overdue, and obsessing over every method she can come up with to induce labour. Walter, meanwhile, has taken up bowls, and Leslie's worked off his feet running errands on his wife's behalf.
After a riotous work Christmas party, Leslie's in the doghouse. His tie's missing, as are the car keys, and a large-cupped bra is found on the back seat. If only he could remember what happened!
