Eric's patience is tested to the limit when his attempts to recover peacefully from a minor medical mishap are interrupted by his unruly neighbours.

The new couple on the street are invited to Beth's to meet the neighbours. Everyone warms to them except for Cathy, whose competitive instincts get a little out of hand.

When Cathy and Colin's house is burgled, Cathy goes into meltdown. Beth and Eric find themselves cast as laundress and chief suspect.

Cathy's jealousy over Colin's ex-girlfriend nearly derails Burns Night. Not everyone is enthusiastic about eating haggis, least of all vegetarian Gordon.

Beth's birthday treat - lunch out with the family - is hijacked by a very drunk Colin, another uninvited guest and an alarmingly intimate photograph.

Back from a quiz night at the pub, everyone is encouraged to reveal their hidden talents. Cathy is very bendy but Gordon not quite as agile as everyone had hoped.
