Ken gets tech help from his grandkids, Chloe goes into early labour and Ian is fretting.

Ken gets tech help from his grandkids, Chloe goes into early labour and Ian frets about a bag. Stars Richard Herring. From 2019.

Ken turns to his grandchildren for help with his technological challenges, while Chloe goes into early labour as Ian frets about his bag for life going to waste. 

Drawing on his own family, Richard Herring’s comedy drama, builds on the warm, lively characters and family dynamics of the first series.

His affectionate observation of inter-generational misunderstanding, sibling sparring and the ties that bind will resonate with anyone who has ever argued with their dad about who the current Pope is.

Amid the comedy, Richard broaches some more serious highs and lows of family life.
