Alf Garnett comes home late from work to find his dinner is burnt since wife Elsie and daughter Rita have gone to the pictures and assumed he would be home earlier. For that reason son-in-law Mike only bought three portions of fish and chips and Alf's efforts to call the chip shop from the phone box outside his house for more are frustrated by a vapid dolly bird chatting endlessly to her lover and one Ted Williams who keeps ringing the kiosk to ask for a message to be passed to a neighbour. Alf is clearly destined to stay hungry. (Note: This is a 2016 remake from a 1967 episode that was wiped)
