Episode 1217 (27th January 1988)

==Plot==
Phil arranges a stag night dinner for Jackie, but he's not prepared for the arrival of an unexpected guest. However, everyone is shocked when Tom turns up all of a sudden. He attends the stag night at Mill Cottage. Tom and Jack almost argue again. Jack is annoyed that Joe has not come to the stag night, and not even rung. Sgt MacArthur pulls a prank on Jackie by faking an arrest, saying that Dolly has been charged with being drunk and disorderly. MacArthur says another police officer will be coming to see them, and they answer the door but it is only Joe, as the special guest. Jackie laughs when he realises MacArthur played a joke on him.
