== Plot ==

Granville ([[David Jason]]) is feeling again down in spirits, when Arkwright ([[Ronnie Barker]]) meets Statchik, an [[Hungarian people|Hungarian]] inmigrant who has returned to [[Great Britain]], looking for an old love of his. Arkwright has a double trouble with this customer. He suspects that he could be Granville's father (and does not want Granville to find out) and suspects that he could be a shoplifter. He manages to have Granville to [[frisking|frisk]] the Hungarian, ellaborating that it is "St Albert's Day" and it is mandatory to have strange greeting traditions.

To cheer up Granville, Arkwright and Nurse Gladys Emmanuel ([[Lynda Baron]]) invent a new story for Granville, that he could be the errant son on a duke related to [[George VI of the United Kingdom|King George]]. Granville rapidly forgets about his "Hungarian roots", thrilled that he has royal blood, and being between 7th and 27th on the [[Line of succession to the British throne|line of succession]] to the throne.
