Episode 1581 (Thu 8th Aug 1991)

Overview

Archie buries a time capsule of Bill's personal effects and uncovers evidence of an old indiscretion via a photo of Bill and a woman who wasn't his wife. Seth is less than pleased to realise it was his wife! Bill's funeral has a sparse attendance, with even the vicar, Tony, having left town without telling anyone, necessitating a replacement. Alan is annoyed as he had a large spread at The Woolpack, but he soon has more serious problems when he collapses from pain. He takes some ribbing when his doctor tells him it's his allergies, and he can only eat mashed potatoes and pears, and can no longer drink alcohol.
