Having accused her of being bad-tempered, the boys bet Queenie £5 that she can't be nice to people for five days…

An elaborate spread has been put up as Queenie's youngest son is bringing his first girlfriend back for tea!

The cupboards are bare, and Queenie's all out of credit.

Queenie is fed up with her layabout family and all the housework, so she decides to go on strike to obtain a fairer division of labour - fairer for Quennie anyway.

After the entire family end up in court on drunk and disorderly charges, Queenie signs them up for the local AA meeting but there is a shock in store…

For once, Queenie seems to have struck lucky on the pools. But then there is always a twist.

Queenie is forced to banish sons from the flat along with brother-in-law Jack. But has she overstepped the mark this time?

At the local police inspector's retirement party, Queenie and the boys meet his disconcertingly zealous successor and decide that they have to act fast to “take care” of him…

Jack decides to go fishing, but having been spotted emerging from a fishmonger's with a huge conga eel, his fabulous ‘catch' fails to impress...

It's Queenie's wedding anniversary and Douglas's birthday!! This calls for a double celebration and the Shepherds do it their way as always…

Queenie decides that the miserably single Douglas needs some training in the art of seduction…

In the eyes of her princelings, Queenie can do no wrong. But now their loyalty faces its greatest challenge yet.
