Les and Cilla's wedding day arrives
The soap wedding of the year has finally arrived. The bride and groom are old enough to know better, the dress is new-ish, the church is definitely borrowed and the air will be blue before the day is out. All the ingredients for two episodes of myrth, madness and mayhem - Battersby style!

The day starts well enough as bride-to-be Cilla is pampered by best mate Yana. Chuffed to bits with her stylish hair-do and, totally missing the irony of the kiss curls on her forehead looking suspiciously like three sixes, she prepares for the 'best day of her life.'

But things quickly start to go down hill when a second run in with the Quo puts Les and the entire band in neck braces; the real Billy arrives for the wedding leaving Les bemused and confused; Tracy refuses to hand over the flowers and the Church door is locked. Not quite the perfect day Cilla had envisaged.

Meanwhile, Scooter decides that he doesn’t want to go to the wedding and would rather spend the day watching television. Agitated Sarah leaves Bethany with him and goes to the wedding alone. Jason is also there alone and there is a strong sense that they are very aware of each other’s company.

Leanne arrives home in time for the wedding and tells Janice she is back to stay, even though Jamie makes it very clear he'd rather she had stayed away.
