Fiddler Under The Roof

Harry is hosting a large Irish gipsy wedding reception at the Coaching Inn. He is not best pleased when all the guests turn up in caravans and tents – they are causing a traffic jam and he has nowhere to park all their vehicles. Tempers flair when the bride’s father, James McGillivray, discovers that the groom, Sean Jones, is a police sergeant.

When the wedding presents are stolen, the police immediately accuse two of the McGillivray brothers, Kevin and Rory, who have criminal records. This makes Sean even more unpopular. Ken investigates, but it is the wedding photographs which Rocky has taken which finally catch the real thief, Aaron Wilson, an odd-job man who was working at the Coaching Inn.

Linda thinks that two brothers, Martin and Christopher Turnover, who are staying in the hotel are indulging in wife-swapping and kinky sex, when she finds rubber suits and corsets in the bedroom that they are all sharing. However the real explanation is much less scandalous: there was a mix-up with the room bookings so all four agreed to share a room; Martin has a bad back, which explains the corsets and the Japanese futon on the floor; they are all keen divers, hence the wetsuits.

This episode is dedicated to George Morris, 30 March 1907 – 14 May 1987, the former owner of Berrow Court, the location for The Coaching Inn.
