Doing a Bunk

BBC One - Hold the Sunset, Series 2, Doing a Bunk

Edith and Phil plan their big day with a little help from their family and friends.

Edith and Phil can finally make a plan for their wedding – which doesn’t include an invitation for Bob – and Roger enlists Georgie to video the proceedings.

Removal men are busy at Phil’s house after its eventual sale to Jack Dugdale. Dugdale is now engaged to Edith’s daughter, Sandra, and the two prospective grooms discuss their respective plans.

Bob’s daughter Georgie, an art student, has started making a video about Roger and his fixation on his crocodile puppet Methuselah, but decides it’s not working, so Roger suggests she make a video of Phil and Edith’s wedding instead. Later, he tells Edith how he will miss her and her biscuits, and then breaks it to her that he is in love with Georgie.
