When Songs of Praise comes to town, Sophie sees a career opportunity. Stars Lucy Beaumont and Maureen Lipman. From October 2015.

Songs of Praise are paying a visit to Hull. 

Sophie sees this as an opportunity to start a successful singing career.

But neglected plumbing and a painting of Elvis at The Last Supper make an impossible task even more difficult...

Sophie still lives at home with her mum in Hull. They make a living doing car boot sales at the weekend. 

Except they don't really make a living because her mum can't bear to get rid of any of their junk. Plus, they don't have a car. As their house gets more cluttered, Sophie feels more trapped.
