On the Up

on BBC One London

The last episode of Bob Larbey's comedy series about a self-made millionaire.

Tony books a holiday for Sam and himself, deciding to splash out on exotic Barbados simply as a means of one-upmanship over his wife who's away in Spain with her new man. He ends up booking for Maggie, Mrs Wembley and Dawn as well. Dennis Waterman returns to our screens in a new series of On the Up in the autumn, and is currently filming a second series of the sitcom Stay Lucky for Yorkshire Television.
