Episode Overview

Arthur has a new business venture, a health club called ‘The Daley Workout’ though its success is sadly short-lived when his business partner Roddy’s wife disappears with their daughter. Roddy has organised a few fitness instructors for Arthur, who are in fact working as greeting staff at a casino. When Terry tries to sort Roddy’s problems out, he becomes a victim of mistaken identity and wannabe gangster and dope grower Johnny Petselli mistakenly smashes up Terry’s flat in revenge for Roddy’s cousins breaking down his greenhouse with a digger. When Terry finds out that Petselli is illegally growing dope in one of his greenhouses, he decides to dish out his own form of justice and threatens to grass on Johnny if he doesn’t pay up some compensation and expenses. Alongside ‘The Daley Workout’, Arthur is doing a nice line in answering machines.
