Starring Nicholas Lyndhurst, Celia Imrie, Dani Harmer and Ryan Sampson, the three season comedy follows handyman Jimmy Venables, who moves in with his teenage children and his mother-in-law Diana after his ex-wife Ann goes to Africa to help with a flood.
When nurse Ann Venables goes to Africa to help out with a disaster relief effort, she leaves her teenage children Alex and Molly in the care of her ex Jimmy and her mother Diana. The kids try to exploit the fact that the easygoing handyman and his posh ex-mother-in-law cross swords at every turn, ultimately leading to the realisation that in order to survive their mom's absence, the kids need them both.

Jimmy overcompensates for his previous paternal failings by letting his kids throw a party. Knowing Diana would disapprove, Jimmy agrees not to tell her and keep her away on party night. Under the pretext of seeking advice on matters 'too personal' to discuss around the kids, he invites her to dinner. At Diana's favourite restaurant, Jimmy discovers that while he and the kids have been sneaking around behind Diana's back, Diana has been sneaking around theirs.
