The first series ends with Martin realising that he needs to do something drastic to get back on the up.
He becomes a debt collector. One person Martin needs to get money from is Lucy. His dad's girlfriend.
Lucy is a spendthrift and has ended up in debt.
Meanwhile daughter Eleanor has a French pen pal coming to stay with her. She is embarrassed to tell her that they have had to downsize.
Albert asks Eleanor to tell her pen pal to come and stay with them. Pretend that Eleanor's family is away on holiday. Eleanor tells her pen pal that her family died in a car crash.
It is a limp end to the first series. I thought there would be more barbed comments on the yuppie era of the 1980s and the Thatcherite boom and bust years.
