The Young Postmen
1. Tour De France
Derek is out on the van in the hope of getting some peace as Brian and Sue are left back at the Post Office. Mr Tilbury meanwhile skulks around surveying his domain with Derek eventually returning. Deciding to head to the pub, the three end up watching the Tour de France where they discuss the decline in popularity of the sport. They set about helping it regain its notariety and head for the ferry to France with a disguise as Interrail travellers. Eventually arriving in France, they set about finding once-famous-now-retired cyclist "Bernard" Bernardino in an attempt to bring him back into the spotlight, though he rejects their plan having taken up playing the violin instead. Brian however manages to convince him to get back on the bike though his lack of fitness quickly shows. Eventually getting him into shape, Bernard joins the race which goes particularly badly as the three watch on.
