After agreeing to take things slow, Adam (James Nesbitt) and his landlady Tina (Leanne Best) have been loved up for the past 10 months – living across the hall from each other but rarely apart.
They've spent hours renovating Adam's rental house together and it turns out Tina has an eye for style. In fact Tina has more than a few good qualities and Adam is keen to dive into the next phase of their relationship.
It's only a matter of time before the perpetual romantic conjures up the kind of grand gesture he's famed for, but will commitment-phobe Tina jump in with both feet?
Finally living out her dreams, Karen (Hermione Norris) is set to launch her fledgling publishing house and its debut novel, but she's struggling to keep a grip on home-life and PA Ramona (Jacey Sallés) is more hindrance than help.
Karen quickly realises there's a high price to pay for trying to have it all and teenage twins have enough issues between them to keep Karen on her toes. They should be focusing on their exam revision, but trouble is on the horizon.
The question is, will Karen notice before it's too late?
Thankfully Pete (John Thomson) has managed to shake off the black dog and is earning a tidy living as a chauffeur, but is looking for something more than being a glorified errand-boy for his rich clients.
With no sense of value in his job, Pete desperately wants to be appreciated at home but Jenny (Fay Ripley) is distracted by work and the opportunity to rise up the ranks.
Meanwhile 14-year-old Chloe needs extra attention, especially after last year's revelation that Pete isn't her biological father. When an unexpected opportunity arises, Pete and Jenny have a tough decision to make – can they both get what they want and maintain a happy marriage, or has something got to give?
David's (Robert Bathurst) fall from grace hit him hard and he's now peddling life insurance to unsuspecting pensioners – a world away from life doling out high-brow financial advice. Like Pete, David is keen to find something more rewarding in his work life and unfortunately his love life is pretty lacklustre too.
After being knocked back by ex-wife Karen, David licked his wounds and might just be ready to find love again – but where does a 50-something technophobe start?
