I absolutely hate the sense of entitlement that some young people have. How much would Ken even have - that pokey little house that I thought he had mortgaged to the hilt to pay for Tracy's legal fees.

It had to do with power as well. If he moved his factory elsewhere, people in the community would lose jobs. If he stopped drinking at the Rover's, there went half their takings.

Mike had his Achilles heel, namely Deirdre. He also had a wicked sense of humour. Mike's appeal was down to the brilliant portrayal by Johnny Briggs who brought his 'cheeky chappie charm' from his roles in British film comedies. What is Adam's Achilles heel?
