Cold Store

Classic sitcom set in a department store. Mr Lucas tries to get a day off sick whilst all staff deal with their own infectious problems.

Mr Lucas has a girl coming to visit him, so he tries to pretend he has a cold to get the day off work. Captain Peacock gets Sister to check his temperature, which says he is perfectly normal.

However, Mrs Slocombe does have a cold but refuses to go home. Miss Brahms, who has an injection to prevent her getting a cold, refuses to work with her.
