Naomi and Ella are working things out in spite of self-absorbed parents.

Naomi and Ella are working things out in spite of self-absorbed parents, but crisis forces the family together. Stars Greg Wise.

Karen and gay husband Jack are called to account by their surprisingly grown-up teenagers. 

After 19 years of marriage, Jack told Karen he was gay. Nicholas McInerny’s tale continues...  

Omnibus of five episodes.  

So where are we, a year on in their lives? We'll let their girls tell us - this fourth series belongs to them.

Despite these seismic changes, Naomi (18) and Ella (16)  are remarkably sane, considering their mum had to sell the family home, so they live with her in a small flat with an ageing dog.

Naomi's managing a bar and bringing strangers home to her bed. She has no intention of going to university. Ella's throwing herself into local green politics and is determined to keep her beloved dog Bruno alive. 

Karen works all the time and Jack's preoccupied with his new young boyfriend, The Body. The girls are thrown back on their own resources with mixed success. 

It's a relief when a crisis forces the family to come back together, as the girls get a big surprise...
