[1] Vin and Marge Shipley live above a fish and chip shop in South London, with their only son Keith.

Things are tough in South London and Keith wants to make his misery guts parents smile again, so he buys a brilliantly coloured tropical fish from Australia.

Seeing the beautiful image, Coal decides to give Keith a ride to the opal fields.

After returning home, a frustrated and devastated Vin decides to sell his shop to Flashman.

The judge who is Baz, the town's police sergeant, rules that Paradise Fish 'n' Chips are better than Ocean Fresh Fish 'n' Fries and the Shipleys' shop stays in business, while Flashman leaves Orchid Cove for good.

Jenny Tabakoff wrote in The Sydney Morning Herald that it's "an engaging show, very British in its early episodes", and is "way above average".

She complimented the acting and the effects as being "imaginative", and that she "likes the way the camera drags out some images and uses lighting to give a surreal look to the London scenes".
