At Thelma's suggestion they join her and Bob on a caravan holiday but due to a mishap the men get separated from the women. Thelma mistakenly accuses Bob of infidelity and their row is heard publicly as they are in a van with the PA still switched on. Bob and Terry then holiday without the girls in a hotel at Whitley Bay. They score with both the landlady and her daughter but have to make a hurried trouserless exit. Terry decides to emigrate and Bob joins him for a farewell drink on board his ship.
