Comedy drama about the trials and tribulations of a couple whose extended family never seem to fly the nest. Rik Mayall stars as George, whose attempts to plan a suitable celebration for his wedding anniversary are constantly interrupted by his relatives
Tensions rise between Annie and stepdaughter Amy, with George caught in the crossfire. He also becomes involved when Laura discovers her new neighbour is an old flame of hers - and doesn't have the heart to tell current boyfriend Ash. Meanwhile, Gordon and Kay feel the strain when Lily moves in to their house - which also causes friction in the workplace.
Annie feels her life is lacking in some way and decides to run for election to the local council. George speaks to the local Press about his wife's many attributes - blissfully unaware that his ex is also a candidate. Lily meets an eligible widower in her new retirement home and Kay takes a reluctant Gordon to dancing lessons, but he is such a hit with the ladies that she gets left in the shadows.
When Kay finds a lump in her breast and needs tests Gordon decides to spend more time with her and hands over the family company to his sons. George knows the business will suffer as he and his brother can never agree on anything, and worse still his daughter has started to date one of his plasterers. Katie introduces Russell to her youth Christian group, and Lily's relationship with Ted deepens
Ted shocks everybody by proposing to Lily. George is not pleased with the development but is convinced by Kay to put his mother's happiness first. Dave heaps further woe onto his brother by embezzling £8,000 out of the company to lavish on his mistress. Ash wants to get a place with Laura but she is unsure what the future holds for them, and Gordon suffers a heart attack on the stag night
In the last episode of the series, the Kinsey family's happiness hangs by a thread. Amy supports Russell after he realises he is gay and tries to commit suicide, and Lily gets cold feet before her wedding to Ted. Laura and Ash recognise the spark has gone from their marriage and George's fragile temper finally snaps when he finds out about Dave and Jess's affair.
