With the house to themselves, Jan and Terry celebrate their wedding anniversary. Reuben whisks Bell away to a fancy spa hotel. Meanwhile, Fergie organises a wild camping trip to Yorkshire for the others; which ends up being wilder than envisaged.

Loz and Fergie set up a taxi cab business, using only old cars like Ford Cortinas but when Loz introduces his thrill-seeking girlfriend Annika into the equation Fergie is, rightly, predicting the end of the enterprise. Bell and Reuben's relationship is getting even rockier so they decide to see a counsellor though she proves to be anything but helpful. Charlie is head-hunted to play for Derby County Football Club and Terry is excited at the prospect of meeting his idol, former soccer legend Rodney McQueen, who has unfortunately deteriorated into a debt-ridden sleaze.

Terry and Charlie are working together at renovating a decrepit stately home and find themselves saddled with the annoying fly-by-night Barry whose performance as a colleague tries Terry's patience. Terry tries to reconcile Bell and Reuben but it is in vain as Reuben goes off with new girl-friend Lou Lou. Grandad's visit from an old friend from Australia ends badly, whilst Fergie, working as a nude model for the life class at Loz's art college, feels it's time to move on.
