The Special

Overview

With Martin and Kate (who is not pregnant after all) pinching their taxi, Madge and Janice cadge a lift to the hospital where Mel has been joined by the Oracle in the next bed. A stranger, who turns out to be a wanted man called Enrique "The Rat" Lopez, locks the pursuing Jack in his car boot and holds the women hostage in their hotel room whilst demanding that they smuggle drugs for him. Released from custody, Mick leads Donald, Gavin, Troy and Mateo on a rescue mission but "The Rat" captures them too and it is down to Mel, helped by the Oracle, to save them and earn all concerned a free holiday next season.
