Tim Vincent hosts the new comedy panel show about modern day fatherhood. This episode looks at how dads cope with being away from their children.

Former Blue Peter presenter Tim Vincent, the dad to twin two-year-old boys, hosts this comedy discussion programme featuring regular panellists and comedians Mick Ferry and Russell Kane.

In this episode, The Likely Dads talk about what it’s like to be away from their children. What's the longest amount of time they’ve been away? Does their line of work mean it’s more likely to happen than normal? How do they cope when they are away and what’s it like when they get home? Along the way we discover whether or not you should “fall into the trap” of buying your children gifts if you’ve been away and the joy of spending time alone on your own. 

In a regular feature, one of The Likely Dads has to guess the answers to questions previously asked of their children. 

The special guests joining Tim, Russell and Mick in this episode are comedian and actor John Thomson (The Fast Show, Cold Feet) and football journalist Mike McGrath.
