You, Me & Them tells the story of Lauren and Ed who are madly in love, despite their 26-year age gap.

Characters include Lauren's disapproving parents Emma and Clive; plus her sister Debs, who lives nearby with husband Keith and their two children Ellie and Charlie. Lauren and Ed share their home with Ed's loveably hapless brother Alan whilst Ed's chancer grandson Tim never seems to be too far from his grandfather and his grandfather's wallet. You can choose your partner but you can't choose your family.
After finally getting his brother to move out Ed's free-spirited mum Rose comes to stay. Meanwhile at the Masons' Ellie decides it's time to shack up with boyfriend Tim having had enough of living under her mum's dictatorship; and following Rose's advice, Emma and Clive create a bucket list with not the greatest results.

Debs is upset when her dad Clive gives Lauren five grand towards her upcoming wedding to Ed. Whilst Nola, an old friend of Emma makes an unexpected visit and reveals a shocking secret at family lunch; together they were exotic dancers called Coffee and Cream in the 60s. Meanwhile in a bid to kick-start his love life Alan's alternative date shows great potential.
