True to form Eric has happily taken all the credit for Gloria’s heroic actions in trying to revive Harry Partridge from his deathbed, having suffered a heart attack. Latisha and Lisa give Eric a round of applause and Gloria reminds him that this is great publicity for the launch of his campaign. Glynis admits he is the talk of the Town Hall, once again his dirty tricks are working a treat. In the pub, Eric lets it slip that he is considering standing for the election which is a surprise to the regulars, as Harry has not long been dead. The regulars berate Eric for ‘ambulance chasing,’ but it does little to dissuade him from standing for election, as he launches into a Churchillian speech.
