Tom and Barbara are worried about getting old and having no savings for when they can't manage the back-breaking work of self-sufficiency. Jerry is trying to get in shape for a physical exam he has to pass to qualify for life insurance and Margo is helping him. Tom goes to see the banker (George Cole of Henry Root fame) to propose a scheme whereby the Goods would sell the bank their house but would continue to live in it until they die. The Goods would live on the mortgage payments the bank pays them. The banker thinks this is a preposterous idea (and yet it sounds just like a reverse mortgage, doesn't it?). Meanwhile, Jerry is having trouble staying focused on getting in shape, and Tom mocks him as he's jogging in the neighborhood. Jerry and Tom challenge each other to a race. Barbara and Margo cheer them on, and then wait while the boys end up taking rather a long time. Finally they return, in a tie. But it seems they cheated by taking a taxi when they both ran out of steam, and spent the time in a pub. Nothing is resolved, but everyone, including the Queen, has a grand time.
The quality of the sound on the VHS is not excellent, but maybe we have a dodgy print. The show isn't one of the classics, but it's fun to see the sets and the crew, and watch the Queen and Duke do their thing. A must for fans!
