Meanwhile Geoff develops his connections via his daughter's school.

Starring John McArdle and Sherrie Hewson.

Six-part sitcom by Elizabeth Baines.

Set on an estate – described as an ‘exclusive village development’ – in Whittleshulme, Cheshire. It's squarely aimed at yuppies, the nouveau-riche and high-fliers.
