Robin (Richard O'Sullivan) is asked to help out in his college's football team - about which he is really excited, & all of a sudden he even has something to talk about with his landlord Roper (Brian Murphy) ... until he catches a wicked cold. However, his roommates Chrissy (Paula Wilcox) & Jo (Sally Thomsett) do everything to get him back to health ... and despite their best (well, chaotic) efforts, he is back to his old self on the day of the match. Only minutes before the match starts is he learning he is not supposed to play football as in soccer, but football as in rugby ...

Soon enough he has to be taken out of the game because of multiple bruises & injuries ... & he is sent home to his girls to nurse him back to health ...

The story once again might not sound like much, but good & funny acting makes this episode worthwhile.
