And with this news the Squire and Grandpap rush to the scene of the duel hoping to get there in time to prevent it. Let's see what happens next...

I liked the relevant sponsor ad at the end of the show:-

It's almost February and if you've escaped a cold so far this season you're lucky! But you never know when a cold will come your way so be prepared. Take advantage of the alka-seltzer cold comfort treatment. See how easy it is to follow and effective it can be. Here it is: 

A) Alka-seltzer -start taking it according to the directions on the package. 

B) Be careful, get plenty of rest, watch your diet, avoid exposure and stay out of draughts. 

C) Comfort - just gargle with alka-seltzer for the raw raspy throat, which often goes with a cold. It's so soothing. 

So make sure you have plenty on hand, when your tablets get down to four, that's the time to buy some more!
