After Eileen at the caff reads Tony鈥檚 tea leaves, he decides to run for the local council. However, he鈥檚 also promised Imogen they would join PADS (Putney Amateur Dramatics Society) where a pretentious director wants to stage a radical version of Macbeth.
Rebecca suggests that, unless Gideon can get a job, he should be the primary carer for their baby prompting Gideon to offer his services as Tony鈥檚 Campaign Communication Director for the upcoming election.
Ashley has joined a dating app called Sophistidate as he鈥檚 looking for 鈥渁 classy girl with good manners and that鈥 but, on his first date at an all-you-can-eat buffet, he鈥檚 convinced his date has ulterior motives.
A welcome return for the critically-acclaimed sitcom.
When Tony (Mark Steel), a working class, left wing South Londoner, falls in love and marries Imogen (Claire Skinner), an upper middle class property developer, their sons - Croydon chancer Ashley (Elliot Steel) and supercilious Eton and Oxford-educated Gideon (Ivo Graham) - are forced to live under the same roof and behave like the brothers neither of them ever wanted.
