The Dingles spread rumours amongst the punters about subsidence and hauntings in a bid to help them out, while Zak and the Dingle men tie up Eric to prevent him from bidding.

Billy urges her to continue and their eyes lock for a moment. Terry has settled down to watch The Jeremy Kyle Show on TV but he's stunned when he sees his dad Duke is one of the guests! Louise is saddened when Duke admits to being bullied by local hooligans and suggests Terry help out, but Terry is loathe to help his estranged father.
