Pat and Joy take in the atmosphere of the CotsTravaGanza festival as they set up their juice stall. Joy’s keen to bump into someone famous. She gets chatting to Mick, who pretends to be a well known musician. Joy’s face falls when he admits he’s actually one of the stewards. Mick mans the stall while Joy goes to get what she needs to clear up a juice spillage. While she’s gone, Toyah Willcox approaches. Mick hopes Toyah will come back; he knows someone who’ll be gutted she’s missed her.

Pat gets chatting to a woman and tells her about the Ambridge fete. She then goes into detail about how she’s a big fan of Toyah Willcox who’s performing at the festival. Only when it’s too late does she realise she’s been talking to Toyah herself! Later Pat recounts her encounter to Joy. Mick reappears and subtly hands over his phone number. Joy’s confused but to Pat it’s clear that Mick wants Joy to call him.

Susan points out to George that recent illegal acts in Ambridge amount to a crime wave. George asserts his innocence on all counts. He can’t believe his own grandmother thinks he could be the culprit. Susan’s shocked to hear that George knows she’s served a prison sentence and that he thinks it gives her credibility. Susan makes it clear to George what an unpleasant experience being in prison was. She hopes it will make George want to stay out of trouble, but the lesson he takes is simply not to get caught.
