George & Mildred S05E03 The Last Straw

Mildred is disenchanted by her failure to be included in the social life on her middle class estate. She and George return to George's old council estate, with an eye to moving back, and visit his old neighbours Alf and Gladys (Michael Robbins and Queenie Watts), but they find the terraced streets are gone, replaced by modern tower blocks. Mildred wants to move to Australia. Fourmile is delighted at the prospect of George moving to the other side of the world. She and George go to Australia House to see if they can move there. They are rejected due to having nothing to offer Australia. Back in Hampton Wick, Mildred's spirits rise when she is invited reluctantly by Fourmile to join a local committee and a campaign to save a Victorian lamp post. However, George crashes his motorcycle into the lamp post, knocking it down.
