Who Needs Friends?
Samuel suddenly finds himself with a houseguest. An old friend Charley has turned up from the West Indies and wishes to stay with the Fosters.
Samuel expects Charley to stay for just a few days. Instead Charley ends up being a lodger as well as a sponger.
Eating all the food, drinking all the booze, smoking Samuel's cigars. He even insults Pearl's girth.
It turns out that Charley is hoping to marry an old flame Melissa. She is well to do, a prime target for Charley.
So Samuel goes around to warn her but only gets to see her mother. It leads to a misunderstanding.
This episode was the sole contribution from writer Vince Powell and he seems to be struggling. It was a weak episode with Samuel bizarrely telling Melissa's mother that her daughter should be marrying someone like him.
Then there is Sonny suddenly becoming a dustman.
