Storyline

Whilst Peter helps soldier Tony Gillespie, who lost a leg in Iraq, get decent compensation, Lyle acts for Tony's girlfriend Kate, who files a case of sexual discrimination when Tony's regiment turn down her application to enlist. Lyle suspects a revenge motive and is right but for the wrong reason. Gloria's senile father, ex-lock keeper Cyril, gets into an ongoing war with a mother and son on a barge holiday which ends in reconciliation when they save his life and he even teaches Peter a new piece of legislation.

Quotes

[Simon had faked his own death in the past. This time he really is dead. Peter, Beatrice and Aunt Auriel are looking wistfully at his gravestone]
Beatrice Kingdom: Amazing to think he's actually down there this time.
Aunt Auriel: You were quite sure he was dead?
Peter Kingdom: Oh yes. As was the doctor. And the pathologist. And the undertaker.
Aunt Auriel: Always pays to be certain with Simon.
