Andy Capp - Season 1 (1988)

Flo makes clear that Andy must stop his boozing, gambling, womanizing, pawning, fishing, and general lazing about. So he decides to turn over a new leaf. He avoids all his bad habits, starts cleaning the house, and even goes to church with Flo. How long will it last?

Flo decides to follow Andy for a day to prove to him how easy his life is, but she gets so exhausted that she can't wait to return to her own jobs.

Shirley's engagement party gets Flo and Ruby thinking that they need new dresses. Percy convinces each man that the other is buying his wife a dress first. Not to be outdone, Chalkie and Andy give the women money to buy them. The unveiling of the new dresses is disastrous.

Long-suffering Flo leaves Andy, but when she hears he is managing fine, she returns to throw him out. He asks all over the neighbourhood for a place to sleep, but is refused every time.

Flo tries her very best to economize, but Andy is finding that he now has more to spend at the pub. When the furniture is repossessed for the second time in one week, Flo gives up.

Everyone Andy knows is urging him to do something special for his and Flo's 25th anniversary, but he's not bothered about it, even when all of the bill collectors forfeit this month's payments so that he has the money to really celebrate, but he refuses. He takes Flo to the pub, where she gets so angry that she jumps into the river at low tide.
