Eldest daughter Lily's first forays into love lead to predictably chaotic results.

The hapless house husband daughter's first forays into love lead to chaotic results. Starring Hal Cruttenden. From 2017.

Hal Cruttenden returns as a hapless house husband trying to cope with his mid-life crisis and doubting his every move.

His wife Sam is still a highly successful business woman, while daughters Lily and Molly continue to grow into teenagers and find their dad just a little annoying.  

Racist neighbour Penny is a major thorn in Hal's side and his best mates Fergus and Barry hinder rather than help Hal's goal of finding himself.

In this opening episode, Lily is set to introduce the family to her new hip boyfriend, but Hal's need to re-kindle his own romantic past leads to unforeseen challenges. 

Hal’s bitter and embittered sister Pippa has come to stay unexpectedly, after her husband decided to experiment with his sexuality...

Written by Hal Cruttenden and Dominic Holland.
