Beth has cooked a curry for Ian and Gordon’s anniversary, but there’s no such thing as a quiet family meal, what with the neighbours inviting themselves over and completely hijacking the occasion.

Beth is ill in bed and in desperate need of some rest. But the neighbours have decided Eric isn’t coping and are convinced they know how to nurse Beth back to health.

Alan’s brother is getting married, and he’s the best man, although it turns out nobody has any confidence in his abilities to do anything other than order two puddings at the meal.

Alan’s off out, and Michelle has invited Beth, Cathy and Christine over for a Girls’ Night, but things get tense when Christine takes the hump.

The neighbours are getting sticky with a family sized box of doughnuts when the new health-conscious residents, Ash and Iqbal, turn up to introduce themselves.

Cathy and Colin are back from their Italian holiday and hosting a soiree to show off how popular they are. But as the duty-free wine flows, tensions soon bubble to the surface.
