BBC One - The Royle Family, The Golden Egg Cup

It's a special time for Jim and Barbara and a celebration is planned.

It's a special time for Jim and Barbara and a celebration is planned. They have received the gift of money from their children, but what will they do with it?

There's a new buzz in the Royle Family household, as it's a special time for Jim and Barbara and a celebration is planned. Poor Mary from next door can't be present though as, sadly, she has lost all bladder control and has leaked in a number of shops in the precinct.

Jim and Barbara have received the gift of money from their loving children, but what to do with it? Barbara wants to go abroad for the first time having only been away once on their honeymoon to Ormskirk. Will Jim persuade Barbara that an HD satellite box is a more appropriate way to spend their children's generous gift? Tension mounts, a family discussion ensues - the question is where will they go? Down to the television superstore as Jim suggests or Barbara's dream holiday to the Bermuda triangle?

The world is their oyster, but will they find their pearl..?
