Series 3

Sid brings another feathered friend along to keep their budgie company, but they very quickly regret their decision. Meanwhile, Mike tries to avoid getting a parking ticket, and Sally has a mishap when trying to move Sid's car.

The family are curious about the lady Mike is dating, and are keen to meet her, but when Sally blurts out the lady's age, they're astounded. However, they accept her into their home politely. But is she really Mike's new girlfriend?

Jean's having a bad week, being rather disenchanted with her housewife lifestyle. She is stunned, and a little bit envious, when she sees what appears to be Betty having a fling with another man.

The Abbotts are stunned when a long-lost cousin of Sid's turns up unexpected, and uninvited, from America. What does he want, and how on earth can they get rid of him?

Sid's boss goes on holiday and asks him to look after his 250-year-old Georgian tea set. Sid not only does his best to protect the valuable antique set, he ends up treating it like a newborn baby.

Much to Sid's surprise, Mike has taken up running, and is planning a run to raise money for the hospital. Sid knows this is out of character; what is Mike up to?

Mike wants to start a career as a photographer, but much to his father's dismay, he wants to use the garage as his studio. However, things don't go quite as smoothly as Mike expects them to.

There's total mayhem in the Abbott household when Jean and the kids come down with flu, and Sid struggles to cope. A woman's work is never done.

Sid receives a letter from Henri and Odette, who he met in France during the war. He reminisces about his time with them, and then decides to visit, and bring Jean along.

Much confusion ensues when a doppelganger of Sid's is on the prowl; especially as he is something of a womaniser. Thanks to him, Sid has a lot of explaining to do.

Jean is surprised when an old flame reenters her life, and asks her to go for dinner. Sid is absolutely fine with this. Or is he?

Sally is enraged when her father decides to intrude on her job interview. Although Sid means well, he soon comes to regret his meddlesome actions.
