As luck would have it, Rodney has just been elected Chairman of the Housing Committee, and with a little pressure from Del, he persuades the council's housing and welfare co-ordinator Miss Mackenzie to move the Trotters into a three-bedroom bungalow in Herrington Road. All seems to be going well, until Miss Mackenzie catches Del and Grandad sharing a celebratory dance and cancels the deal. An ashamed Rodney agrees to resign as chairman immediately, and the Trotters stay in the flat.

First broadcast 10 November 1983.
The wear and tear of climbing twelve floors in Nelson Mandela House takes its toll as Grandad's legs finally give way. After a visit to the doctor, it is recommended that the Trotter family seeks some different housing ... on the ground floor.
As luck would have it, Rodney has just been elected Chairman of the Housing Committee, and with a little pressure from Del, he persuades the council's housing and welfare co-ordinator Miss Mackenzie to move the Trotters into a three-bedroom bungalow in Herrington Road. All seems to be going well, until Miss Mackenzie catches Del and Grandad sharing a celebratory dance and cancels the deal. An ashamed Rodney agrees to resign as chairman immediately, and the Trotters stay in the flat.
