The clock has well and truly run down on Tim’s leave of stay in the UK. Having discovered a letter from the Home Office carefully filed by Ruth under the sofa cushion, Tim has just 48 hours before deportation looms. With no job, no wife and no sponsor it seems all hope is lost. Skyping Mom to break the news to her, Tim and the gang are stunned however when she inadvertently mentions that Tim has Welsh family. If his grandfather was British this could be just the ticket he’s looking for. Hot-footing it to Wales to meet the family and discover more, Tim can’t believe his luck when they pull up at a grand old manor house. Not only might Tim be British but it looks like he’s also loaded! However after meeting doddery old Great Uncle Thomas, Tim is faced with the awkward truth that not only did Tim’s grandfather renounce his British citizenship, but that he did so in order to join the Nazi party. And not only that but old Unckie Tom is actually broke. With all avenues exhausted the gang say their fond farewells at the airport. At least Mom managed to turn the waterworks on at check in and they’re flying back in first class style. Show less
