So Near and Yet So Far

Prices Slashed sees Gurder denouncing the 'Demon', and is startled into dropping his lighted cigarette into the petrol. With no time to fix the door, the lorry crashes through moments before the petrol ignites and causes an explosion. They stop a short way down the street to see the store on fire. They drive off and, after a number of close calls, a police car begins pursuing them. The first scene of the first episode then repeats, this time showing Masklin and Dorcas cutting the police cars wiring while the Nomes in the truck hide. The lorry comes to a stop in an abandoned quarry near an airport. Masklin tells the others that they must move on at some point and try to get home. As they watch Concorde fly over, Dorcas remarks that it would be easier to drive than a lorry because it only has three wheels.
