| Rock & Chips (2010–2011) |
| Five Gold Rings (2010) S1.E1 |
| Helped by her knitting-obsessed mother-in-law Violet, Joan brings up baby Rodney with Reg none the wiser that he is not the father. Meanwhile, Del is impressing his friends with fake diamond rings with which he hopes to wow the girls, and selling imported American records and almost getting nicked by zealous police cadet Slater. Out on bail Freddie approaches Joan who takes his money but initially sends him away. However, when she gets a job as his cleaner he declares his love for her and she is happy to succumb. They see the New Year in together, dancing cheek-to-cheek while the rest of the family are in the pub. He gives her a ring and she lets him hold Rodney. There is no such romance for Del; he gets engaged to two girls, then is thrown over by both of them. |
