Ep. 1: Floyd
Ex tour manager Floyd is used to mingling with the stars. Now in retirement, he is still as rock ‘n’ roll as ever; a flamboyant, free spirited, party goer. His rather uptight ballet teacher daughter Becky and her palliative care consultant husband Jack certainly have their work cut out with this firecracker, especially when their teenage daughter Becky wants to attend a music festival.
-
Ep. 2: Patricia
Local Councillor Patricia David seems to have perfected the art of getting away with making terrible work and life decisions. Approaching menopause, on mixed medication, single and living on her own, Patricia manages to dodge professional bullets with sheer luck and a talent for being somewhere else - both mentally and physically - at exactly the right time.

Ep. 3: Eleanor
When Eleanor Popplewell’s beloved organic shop and café goes out of business, she is hardly happy that Gino who owns the greasy spoon tries to take it over. Tony is Mediterranean, impossibly passionate and has a seriously soft spot for Eleanor but will he ever be made to see her point of view?

Ep. 4: Sunshine Simon
South London crook Simon ‘Sunshine’ Wilson is a big fish in a small pond. He means well and tries to be as ‘legitimate’ as possible for his wife Kelly and their two daughters, but news that old pal, Mad Mickey Quinn has escaped from a prison van, is quite the surprise.

Crispin and Fergus are terribly posh and terribly bad entrepreneurs.

If that isn’t enough, Crispin’s girlfriend Emma appears to be getting rather close to her friend Lawrence.
