Good Morning, Goodbye....
"Patrick and Pippa have reached the end of their tether and are desperately trying to sell. Seems Victor is going out of his way to sabotage the sale. Mr Sweeney has been away and brought home a dead scorpion, seemingly an evil talisman which brings doom on the owner. Firstly Victor's had a mishap with ordering a taxi, calling a toy shop in error, more mishaps occur, Margaret was remembered in a will, but didn't exactly get what she wanted. Utterly hilarious start, Victor singing, 'Good Morning, Goodbye.' The whole concept of Patrick seeing Victor become more and more crazy..."
