Roo and David’s relationship is hit on all sides by racism. Meanwhile, Alf makes a phone call that could reveal Bobby’s parentage.
SKID (CHRIS HARDING)
Second appearance, last seen in #186. Hassled Roo about her relationship with David from his sports car.
ALISON PATTERSON (KATHRYN RIDLEY)
Forty-first appearance, last seen in #225. Was led astray by Celia, Martin & Lance’s plan.
Continuity error: Roo refers to Skid as “Morris Henry Gibson” (Revhead’s full name), however the actor in the role is clearly Chris Harding and not Gavin Harrison.
