Rebecca is concerned that Gideon's lack of employment will scupper their chances of securing a mortgage, so when his first ever trip to a football match leads to him being befriended by a hooligan mortgage advisor called Spud, Gideon leaps upon his offer to forge some payslips - after they've had a" tear up" with the Wycombe Wanderers lot.

Imogen is keen to do her bit in this cost of living crisis by launching her "You Can Tin Can" workshop at the local community centre, but the three attendees need some convincing about the benefits of cooking using only tinned food.

Tony dreams of becoming a published author with his biography of a pioneering distant relative but should he be so smug that he wrote it without consulting the internet?

A welcome return for the hugely popular and critically-acclaimed sitcom starring Radio 4 favourite Mark Steel (Mark Steel's in Town, The News Quiz), Claire Skinner (Outnumbered), Elliot Steel and Ivo Graham.

When Tony (Mark Steel), a working class, left wing South Londoner, falls in love and marries Imogen (Claire Skinner), an upper middle class property developer, their sons - Croydon chancer Ashley (Elliot Steel) and supercilious Eton and Oxford-educated Gideon (Ivo Graham) - are forced to live under the same roof and behave like the brothers neither of them ever wanted.
