It's late December 1998 on the cobbles, and Jack and Vera have received an invitation to spend the festive period with their grandson, Tommy. This drew the ire of Alec Gilroy, who needed the Duckworths to work their shifts, however, he was soon to happily wave them on their way when he saw an opportunity to evict them in their absence. Alec's 'companion', Rita, caught wind of this skullduggery and tipped off Jack and Vera who rushed back to the pub and barricaded them into the upstairs flat, thus beginning the Siege of the Rovers that would run to New Year's Eve.
Along the way, Alec's granddaughter would return with a business proposition, barmaid Natalie would find some use from the proceeds of her own house sale, a relationship would come to an end, and a legend of the show would say his last goodbye to The Street.
Not covered in this compilation is the arrival of Judy Mallett's twins. You're welcome.
