| abstract | - Ken receives two items of post: the left-wing magazine Survival and a cheque. He shows Frank the front cover of the magazine showing that he has had an article published within it and that he has been paid twenty-five guineas for his troubles. A proud Frank has to rush off to work before he can read it. Dennis tells Elsie that Ken has been asking him about his spending habits and political views. Elsie wonders why. Ken reads his article - The Student And The Working Class. Martha thinks Minnie should push Dennis for damages. Frank brags about Ken's article in the Corner Shop and Martha tells Minnie how interested Ken was in her life when they were chatting a few weeks' prior. Elsie asks Len if Ken has been talking to him. Martha and Minnie tell Ena about the article. She's intrigued about the questions that Ken asked Martha. Albert is upset at the article which attacks the working classes - he warns Ken that Frank won't like it and he should burn the magazine before he returns home. Albert kids on to Jack and Annie that he's not seen the article. Ena, Minnie and Martha are at a loose end and don't know how to fill in their day. Dennis is snubbed by them. He hears about the magazine and calls on Ken to give him ideas for writing for showbusiness. He reads Ken's article but fails to recognise the negative references to himself in it. Len goes to the paper shop to obtain the midday edition for the news about the dog racing. Frank returns for his dinner and reads the article. He is shocked by it and the obvious references to the neighbours. Ken insists that he's on their side and assures Frank that no one in the area would think of buying the magazine. Frank asks Ken not to show his copy to anyone. Harry sees in Len's paper a report about the article, saying it strikes out at the neighbours. They realise that it will be all the evening editions as well, giving it maximum publicity.
