Episode 4353 (4th May 2006)

== Plot ==
It's the day of the election and Eric, Rodney and Val gather to hear the results. Val is not surprised to be revealed as last, but Eric is disappointed not to have done much better. Rodney, however, is delighted that Irvin has won. But there's a shock in store when the returning officer announces that Irvin is dead and a by-election will need to be called, which Eric is more than happy to agree to. Rodney's furious and decides to stand for council himself. Elsewhere, whilst searching for the savings book, Len finds an old premium bond and realises he's won £1500. Meanwhile, Kayleigh tells Louise that she overheard her talking to Diane about not wanting to be her mum.
