Jim is actually working. Along with Twiggy he is scraping wallpaper so the dining area may be decorated for David's christening party. When Dave comes in they blackmail him into helping them by threatening to tell everybody how he called the police when he - wrongly - thought his van was stolen. When Denise arrives Barbara points out that she relies on others too much to baby-sit though Denise makes excuses. Antony brings Darren in. He is on Community Service and everybody teases him as he is dating Big Julie from Argos who looks like Tina Turner - and is twice his age.
