A poorer episode of "Bottom" this time around.

Plot In A Paragraph: Eddie comes home after having a very bad day at work and gets into an argument with Richie when Richie learns Eddie has spent £11.80 on a second hand copy of a Parade magazine which they had to last them for 2 months. But Richie finds Eddie has spent the rest of the money and place a bet on the Miss World competition and has placed a bet on Miss China. 

Turns out this was the first show of "Bottom" to be filmed at the BBC and was filmed in 1989, 2 years prior to the first series broadcast and it was originally filmed and intended to be the pilot, which establishes the characters of Richie and Eddie. However (#1.1) was the first show broadcast and instead(#1.3) became the 3rd show transmitted.

That makes sense as this is not as good as the previous two episodes and those two will have been used to hook the audience in. A poor pilot could have resulted in nobody watching the second episode.
