Auf Wiedersehen, Pet (1983)

S1E3 The Girls They Left Behind

Marjorie, worried about being out of touch with her husband Oz and in need of cash, visits Vera, Dennis' wife, to inquire about the men's whereabouts in Germany. Meanwhile, Oz receives a letter from Marjorie but returns it marked 'not known at this address.' After attending a football match, he drinks too much and finds himself on a plane to Newcastle. Once home, he spins a tale of financial hardship to Marjorie. Days later, with still no sign of Oz, the guys in Dusseldorf sell off his belongings and send the money to his Newcastle address. When he finally returns, Marjorie seems to have gotten the funds she sought from him after all.
