Philip is back, but his mum is still waiting for him outside.

Philip has come to the attention of a TV company who want to make a Where Are They Now? style documentary about once minor celebrities. Alarm bells are ringing for Martha.

Philip's Mum is still caring for him, but he has at least found gainful employment. And it's while demonstrating fish smokers in the basement of a major department store, that he is approached by a TV company wanting to make a 'Where Are They Now?' style documentary about once minor celebrities. He invites their researcher to lunch but is dismayed to learn that his mother has already begun to fill her in on his recent history.
