"'''Laundry Blues'''" is the first episode of ''[[Open All Hours]]'' [[Open_all_hours#Episode_list|second season]].

== Plot ==

Arkwright ([[Ronnie Barker]]) is worried because the [[VAT]] inspector is coming to his shop for an audit. On the other side of the road, when Nurse Gladys Emamnuel's ([[Lynda Baron]]) [[washing machine]] breaks, she asks Arkwright if she can use his. Arkwright has to refuse since his washing machine is not even electric. Nurse Gladys storms into the shop and states an [[ultimatum]] to Arkwright. If he wants to marry her, he has to upgrade his domestic hardware.

Arkwright goes to the hardware store and asks the owner to deliver him a brand new washing machine. That means just "deliver", not sell, since Arkwright only wants Nurse Gladys to witness the delivery of a new machine. He also agrees to buy an old second hand washing machine and a [[Clothes_dryer|dryer]].

After the "delivery", Granville ([[David Jason]]) uses the new (but old) machines, which are very noisy and vibrate a lot. When nurse Gladys enters the shop, she spots the dryer moving across the room, and leaves in a bad mood. The only good news for Arkwright is that the machine is so noisy that the VAT inspector also leaves.

== Notes ==

This episode is the is the first one to feature [[Maggie Ollerenshaw]] as Mavis, the customer who just cannot make her mind to decide which product to buy.
