Three Up, Two Down - Season 1

Nick, a photographer, and his young wife, Angie, have just become the proud parents of a little boy, but money is tight, so Nick's south London father, Sam, has a suggestion to alleviate the financial burden. However, Angie's mother Daphne arrives from Cheltenham with an alternative suggestion - and she's used to getting her own way.

Both Sam and Daphne move into the basement. This does not bode well for a life of domestic bliss - and an unexpected visitor highlights the problems.

Sam and Daphne have been sharing the flat for a few weeks, but it has not been an easy time for either of them. Against her better judgment, Daphne is forced to include Sam in her social life.

Sam and Daphne are trying to settle down to some sort of routine. Daphne tries to improve her social life but hasn't accounted for Sam.

Daphne is the proud owner of an antique which Sam wants. He attempts to arouse her sympathies - but Daphne is a hard case to crack.

Daphne is at the end of her tether. She feels the time is right for some hard bargaining, but she hasn't bargained for Sam.
