Jack MacLean, a handsome racing driver in his 30s causes elderly farmer GARY Shaw's land rover to swerve off the road. Vernon is targeted by Leonard Parks who explains the concept of pyramid selling Shine-fresh cleaning products. Jack stumbles home where his wife SARAH (20s) finds him unconscious. Liz attends.
