Common As Muck

The lads go to Fleetwood to stop Nev marrying Irene, who they regard as a gold-digger. The site is visited by the Millennium Games Committee and Sharon and Ken enter a hairdressing competition.

Nev doesn't want to return to Hepworth. Sharon and Ken struggle with the new salon, while Prabhakar receives a compulsory purchase order for the yard. Parry loses job and Diane leaves him.

Parry's financial worries mount when Pete calls in his debts and he seriously considers ending it all - until Nev and the rest of the lads get together to plot a fitting revenge on the uncaring loan shark.
