The Generation Gap

Sid Abbott is a family man but he doesn't find it easy, especially with two teenage children whose values and attitudes he doesn't really understand.

Mum's The Word

It wasn't that Sid was evesdropping, the trouble was he only heard half the conversation...

Father's Day

The best laid plans of mice and men (and women) sometimes go astray, and Jean should have known that when she planned a surprise for Sid.

Sid gets more than he bargained for when he tells Mike to 'get a job' and 'spread his wings'.

Sally and Mike try to persuade Sid to be honest with Jean, but Sid decides there's a time and a place to be honest - and now's not the time or the place.

For Whom The Bells Toll

When a young couple marry, the groom's family have a 'do' on the house. But if the youngsters go off then Sid misses out.

A Woman's Place

Sid is convinced a woman's place is in the home - or more precisely, "in the kithcen, facing the sink". Jean feels otherwise...

Mike's latest piece of modern sculpture causes trouble when new neighbours move in next door.

Sid's saturday morning 'lie-in' is disturbed by Mike's hunger strike for charity.

The Morning After The Night Before

It may have been thirty years since Sid left the Boy Scouts but the annual get-together is always a night to remember!
