Season 2:
Return of the comedy series dealing with the scuffles between workers and management at a Midlands factory.
In the second episode it seems that everyone is “in the money” except Labour Relations Officer Bernard Peck. All the staff have been awarded pay rises, including the two secretaries who are making plans for their forthcoming summer holidays. Managing Director Dicky Bligh has also been given a new car in appreciation of his services, by Sir Charles. Peck is being hounded by his bank manager and he decides to ask Bligh for a rise. All he gets is a key to the executive toilet and a surprise when he goes to use it. Having overheard one of the sales managers threaten to resign if he did not get a rise, and realising that this ploy might work, he immediately hands in his resignation, Bligh rubs his hands in glee. . .
Who will greet the special visitor to Cockers Components and in what order of precedence?
Bernard Peck finds himself lumbered with a concrete lorry—— which is no place to entertain a new girlfriend!
Shop steward Sid Stubbins' union business manages to upset Dicky Bligh's fishing weekend.
Fred Hamflitt decides to improve his station in life but holds out on the golf course.
