James Nicholls is less than impressed when he comes into the kitchen and finds his daughter (Tessa Wyatt) canoodling with his son in law Robin Tripp (Richard O'Sullivan). "Perhaps I ought to go out and come back in again," he asks, peeved. "No, we'll still be at it when you come back in," replies Robin cheekily before giving Vicky's bum a nice squeeze. It seems that Vicky's father has a dinner do he wants Robin to cook for, but when Robin learns it involves some of Mr Nicholls' army buddies he struggles to take it seriously - especially when he hears what Mr Nicholls wants on the menu...Interestingly, in real life Tessa and co star Richard O'Sullivan were involved in a affair with each other at this point, with Tessa married to DJ Tony Blackburn. Maybe his cheeky pinch of her bum was a sign that they had moved on from merely acting out these scenes in the show. Whatever the truth, soon after Tessa left Tony for Richard and they stayed in a relationship for the next 7 years.
