Mr Scot has called a meeting to learn who gave Phil permission to use the sponsor’s name, after the ban in the first episodes of the season. Phil, Alice, and Frankie fret over whether they still have a job. Will it help if Frankie steals an old theme song to use with the new sponsor? Phil tries his own advertising gimmick that was popular in the day, the sponsor name backwards.
Phil makes a sales guarantee to Mr Scot, but is it one that he can back up? A promotional is arranged for Phil and Alice to make personal appearances in department stores. Who is that TV salesman? Could it be Frank Nelson? Oooo is he! The enthusiastically snarky salesman lets Phil and Frankie give their best shots at sales.
While Phil makes his Ernest attempts at sales, Frankie uses other slogans, or sales techniques of products that are unrelated to televisions. Will Alice lend any credibility, or testimonial, to Phil’s pitch? Phil takes a break to sing, Possibilities.
All that’s left to seal the deal on the sale is installing the arial. If only they thought to bring one. The next best thing to do is swipe the one from the house next door unless Julius comes along with wisecracks, and a threat to call the cops. There’s another secret that doesn’t help in impressing Mr Scot.
