转场追忆：艾伦·卡尔的80年代
Between a Dad managing a 4th Division football club and friends ditching him for being camp, Alan wants to change. Should he go against his instincts and become a footballer?
Christine is desperate for Graham to take her on a night out. At school Alan is struggling to hide who his dad is from bullies - and there's the dread of communal showers looming.
Graham's woes extend off the pitch and Alan gets the acting bug, but Christine is worried when he comes home from school with a black eye. How did he get it and from whom?
A brilliant but troubled striker gives the Cobblers a lifeline, while keen birdwatcher Alan becomes eagle-eyed at news of a loose pelican. Then Sue's book club gets out of hand...
It's BCG day at school and he decides to pull a sickie. With Christine otherwise disposed it's up to a begrudging Graham to play nursemaid. Can Alan's acting skills last the day?
Things are looking up for The Carrs - the Cobblers are in the quarter finals of the Milk Cup, Alan's got a part in the school play and Angela's marriage has taken a nose dive.
