Andy and Jeff have a major problem to solve - each other.

Andy and Jeff have had enough of each other – could couples therapy help? Stars Philip Jackson and James Northcote. From 2020.

Andy and Jeff need help.  

Fish Shop Frank suggests Couples Therapy as it worked so well for his ex-wife (and for him too, if he had bothered to turn up). After a session with unorthodox therapist Dr Coulson (Alison Steadman), the treatment is such a success that Andy decides to move out. 

Jeff, though wounded, puts a brave face on it and gets on with his new life as best he can. 

Meanwhile, Andy, is living the high life. He’s run into an old friend from London, Sean and they’re visiting nightclubs, restaurants and comedy gigs together.
