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.

Herbert poses for some flashy new headshots to go in his portfolio, in the hope than one of them will land him an acting job, and he can begin paying for all the things he has been buying on the internet - and hopefully leave enough to pay the council tax bill. However, a bicycle ride and an overlong bath have unforeseen consequences.

Herbert's got an audition that could redefine him, but first he and his wife Bobby Kindle have to get ready for his daughter Woman Child's birthday party.
