Howard and Marina

Can someone please tell me when Howard and Marina first became an 'item'? I've seen some early episodes where Pearl has heard about them but I'm not sure when they first met up and how they met. Not sure if there's a single episode that shows this or was it a more gradual thing.
 
We never see the start of the relationship. They turn up as an established item in "Catching Digby's Donkey". Much later, in "There Goes the Groom", Howard is asked what attracted him to her. He says that she had "this little girl lost look", which makes Clegg and Truly burst out laughing.

According to Wikipedia there was a Last of the Summer Wine stage adaptation in 1984 which introduced us to Howard and Pearl as Clegg's neighbours, and the first act built up to the appearance of Marina. Apparently it was never intended at first that these characters would crossover into the TV show but as they appeared really popular they were written into Series 8 in 1985.
