In the first episode, Herbert's best friend Jonny performs a remarkable impression of his pet dog.

Herbert is given the opportunity of a lifetime when he is asked to record an audition tape for a role in a musical. He decides that the performance most likely to win him the role is a rendition of a 1980s computer struggling to load.

Herbert gets an important job recording a voiceover, but Bobby is less than impressed by the discovery that he has spent all of their savings on glow-in-the-dark paint. The couple is also called in for an urgent parent-teacher meeting at their son's school, which leads Herbert to reminisce about some unpleasant childhood memories.
