| Title | Airdate | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| How To Clear Your Pipes | 24 October | Now Foggy's on about Compo and Clegg being out of shape again, and he ends up putting them through an exhaustive training course that leaves them trapped inside sewer pipes. Howard's latest subterfuge has him publicizing the bicycle race he and Marina are "participating" in, but he does it a little too well this time. | |
| Where There's Smoke, There's Barbecue | 31 October | The trio gets a gas grill from Auntie Wainwright, but its alarming potency brings an explosive touch to their barbecue. Howard is busy making improvements on his love-nest. Will it inflame Marina's passions, or just inflame Marina? And how did Howard end up with a wooden leg? | |
| The Black Widow | 7 November | Too much home brew at a funeral tea leaves Compo and Foggy having to rescue Clegg from the arms of an amorous widow. | The concluding theme tune is played in the style of a dance band, consistent with Foggy's predicament in the dance hall at the end of the episode. |
| Have You Got A Light Mate? | 14 November | Smiler is selling security lights. Howard is determined to buy Marina a china shepherdess-if he can persuade Clegg to visit Auntie Wainwright's. | |
| Stop That Bath | 21 November | The trio finds they are involved in yet another of Howard's schemes to get a present to Marina-this time a cast iron bath! | |
| Springing Smiler | 28 November | Smiler is sick of living in misery with Nora Batty and will hand over 50 quid to anyone who will help him move out and live in misery someplace else. Foggy has a plan to get Smiler thrown out, but will Compo murder Smiler before they can put it into action? | |
| Concerto For Solo Bicycle | 5 December | Foggy comes up with the crazy idea of bicycle safety underwear after he collides with Compo riding his old bike. | |
| There Are Gypsies At The Bottom Of Our Garden | 12 December | Dewhirst's "Nature Tours" are launched by Foggy after he believes he's discovered the nesting place of a giant woodpecker. | |
| Aladdin Gets On Your Wick | 19 December | After seeing a man on a sailboard, Foggy has the idea of inventing a three-man version. | This is the last episode to feature the end theme which had been used since the very first episode, 20 years before. From the next series onwards, the shorter end theme and credits are used. It remains that way for the rest of the series. |
