"Mum's excited about the new curtains, but the boys and Grandma think they're horrible. Mum is annoyed.\n\nMeanwhile, Dad drops Mum's beef casserole all over the kitchen floor. It looks disgusting. Dad scoops it back into the dish. The boys are not happy about their meal. \n\nLater, the argument about the curtains spreads, and Jonny leaves in a huff to go to the pub. Adam joins him. \n\nAt home, Mum and Grandma are still not talking, so it rests with Adam to resolve the family argument. But can Adam save the day?"

"When Mum finds out that Dad didn't throw away his old boxes of science magazines in their clear-out, she goes mad. So Dad builds a bonfire and promises he'll burn them all. But Dad is only pretending to burn them, instead squirrelling the boxes off to his shed in the garden.\n\nMum is excited as her best friend, Val, is popping around with her new dress for her daughter Karen's wedding. Adam and Jonny are convinced Karen has a face like a foot. Meanwhile Jim's dog, Wilson, goes missing, leaving Jim distraught.\n\nLater, Val comes round. She looks just like Mum: similar hair, similar clothes and - according to Dad - \"similar bottoms\". She tries on her dress. The men are instantly bored.\n\nWill Jim ever find Wilson, and will Mum venture once again into Dad's shed to discover the truth behind his \"pretend bonfire\"?"

"It's Adam's birthday. As he arrives home, a silver Mercedes almost runs him over. Inside is Sheila Bloom - or 'Bitchface' as Adam and his family call her. 'Bitchface' is famously obsessed with her Mercedes, and after some catty remarks about Adam's 'Yugo' ('Err... it's a Nissan'), she speeds off.\n\nDad reveals that he used to have a thing with Bitchface years ago. The boys can't believe it. Mum's not happy.\n\nLater, the family abandon dinner and go for a Chinese, but Bitchface is there. An awkward chat ensues, and finally Dad reveals exactly what he got up to with her..."

"Adam comes home to find the house looking immaculate, with classical music playing in the living room, Mum's posh bowls on the dinner table, Dad in a smart suit, and - most mysteriously - the table set for five.\n\nThe doorbell rings and in comes Tanya Green, a girl Mum has been trying to fix up with Adam for months. What follows is possibly the most excruciating family dinner scene of all time.\n\nMeanwhile, Jim has been locked out as his dog, Wilson, has swallowed his keys. Inside, the blind date continues, but will Mum's dream of an Adam and Tanya wedding come true?"
