Episode 8
Joseph is harassed by a nuisance caller, and elderly Rita heads out on another one of her 'dates'.
For decades, Arthur Gillies lived a double life: running twenty high-class brothels in exclusive parts of London, while maintaining a quiet married life in Kettering. Fifteen years on from his death, his daughter Marie has discovered the truth - and the huge extent of her father's estate. She has mobilised Arthur's solicitor, Mr Wye, to sell the properties from underneath their sitting tenants: consisting of Arthur's former employees (the now elderly madams and prostitutes) and his illegitimate son, Joseph.
