- Simon is arrested and Peter feels unable to represent him as this would suggest partiality. He also refuses to respond to Simon's request that he re-mortgage his house for bail money, and puts Lyle on the case to defend Simon. In fact Simon gets bail after Lyle finds a bag stashed full of money which Simon has left in the house. The local American army base figures prominently as the pregnant Camilla gets Peter to put pressure on serviceman Brad Johnson to admit liability for her unborn baby, with love ultimately finding a way. Another, less expected, romance appears to blossom when Sidney, in protest at a new jet runway being built near his house, stages a one-man sit-in and Gloria joins him to bring him tea and refreshments.—don @ minifie-1
- Episode three Simon Kingdom (Dominic Mafham) is in police custody on suspicion of identity fraud and other related charges.
Peters (Stephen Fry) hands are tied as he cannot represent his brother and he decides that for once he must let Simon face the consequences of his actions. Peter walks away from the police station with a heavy heart.
He washes his hands of Simon and refuses to stand bail for him. Gloria (Celia Imrie), worried at Peters rejection of his brother in his hour of need, instructs Lyle (Karl Davies) to prepare the case for Simons bail hearing.
If they cant secure bail, the good name of Kingdom and Kingdom will never recover.
Lyle, quickly bored and dispirited looking through files and documents on Simon, opens a bag that Simon left in the hall when he was arrested. Lyle gets a huge shock when he looks inside and discovers half million pounds in cash.
