- DirectorMark MylodStarsCaroline AherneCraig CashSue JohnstonBarbara's mum Norma, known as Nana, comes for Sunday tea and to see Denise in her wedding dress. Nana's reminiscing about the old days and long-dead friends sends the usually lazy Jim into the kitchen to do the washing-up, where he is joined by the other menfolk for small talk, though they return to watch "Antiques Roadshow" on TV and place bets on the items' asking prices. Jim agrees to see Nana home on the bus, but makes such a big deal of it that Dave offers to take her in his van.
- DirectorMark MylodStarsCaroline AherneCraig CashSue JohnstonIt's Jim's birthday and the Carrolls from next door come in to join the celebration. A family photo is taken, though Antony wants to appear in profile; he has a black eye after fighting with the Beswick brothers. Jim annoys Denise by implying that Cheryl is fat and Barbara annoys Jim by talking about an old boyfriend, but he is happy to take her to the pub to celebrate--providing that she brings her purse.
- DirectorMark MylodStarsCaroline AherneCraig CashSue JohnstonDenise and Dave come in from the pub where Dave has had a gig with his mobile disco. Denise is drunk and angry, claiming that Dave has been flirting with buxom Beverley Macca, but Dave takes Jim and Antony into the kitchen and explains that nothing happened. After speaking to her parents Denise calms down and the family has a sing-song to Jim's banjo playing.
- DirectorMark MylodStarsCaroline AherneCraig CashGeoffrey HughesDenise and Dave's wedding day finally arrives. The menfolk are in the kitchen, Jim practising his speech, Twiggy offering to sell knock-off tracksuits at the reception, and Antony being teased about his new haircut. Nana is put out because nobody will take her home for her comfortable shoes, but she does have 36 films in her camera. Antony hopes to move into Denise's room when she moves out. Alone in the house after the others have left for the church, Jim is uncharacteristically tender in assuaging Denise's nerves.
- DirectorSteve BendelackStarsCaroline AherneCraig CashSue JohnstonDenise and Dave turn up and announce that Denise is pregnant. If it's a girl, they'll name her Whitney, and if it's a boy, they'll name him Dave, after Dave, or Keanu. Barbara cries tears of joy, while Jim merely comments on the waste of money for a pregnancy testing kit. Antony is sent to the shop to buy a bottle of pomagne to celebrate. Denise is not happy that Antony has told outsiders her news, whilst Barbara and Mary from next door both recall how useless their husbands were when they were giving birth.
- DirectorSteve BendelackStarsCaroline AherneCraig CashGeoffrey HughesJim invites Twiggy to Sunday lunch, but after he leaves, he moans about him accepting. Nana turns up and prattles on about illnesses, funerals, and Richard "Branston," to intolerant Jim's annoyance, while Dave and Denise bicker: he wants her to stop smoking during her pregnancy; she is annoyed that he will not move his moped out of what will be the baby's room. At least Antony is happy: he has a girlfriend, Emma.
- DirectorSteve BendelackStarsCaroline AherneCraig CashSue JohnstonDave and Denise arrive to give Jim and Barbara a boring account of their visit to the ante-natal clinic. They all discuss Antony's girlfriend Emma, who may be only 17 and 'a tiny little thing' but she has her own car. When Antony comes in, he announces that he is part of a rock band called Exit, which Jim finds hilarious. He is less amused that Barbara has invited Nana to stay following her cataract operation.
- DirectorSteve BendelackStarsCaroline AherneCraig CashSue JohnstonNana is now staying with the Royles, and Jim, churlish as ever, makes no bones about his animosity to her after she walks off with the remote control and accidentally turns off the video. When Barbara announces that she is staying another week, he is not pleased, but the last straw is her obsessing about a television show with a man dressed like a chicken. Antony's band has split up and Emma is going to the cinema with a platonic male friend, but the entire family turns on Jim when he tries to suggest to Antony that she is two-timing him.
- DirectorSteve BendelackStarsCaroline AherneCraig CashSue JohnstonStressed out by menopause, her bakery job, and--especially--Jim's meanness and selfishness, Barbara confides in Denise before storming out of the house. Denise angrily confronts her father, but Jim only brings up Denise's own laziness and carries on watching 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire'. When Barbara returns, he does make a cup of tea (with her help) and even offers to prepare the next evening's meal--until he discovers that it clashes with his darts night.

But at the same time she goes on about all the things that she will be taking from Elsie's flat for herself. This annoys Jim, who calls her The Living Dead. Barbara declares that she will not be cooking dinner, so she sends Antony to buy fish-and-chips, which pleases Cheryl because it's a break from her diet. While everybody else is downstairs, Jim goes up and talks through Baby David's baby monitor, pretending to be Elsie's ghost telling Nana to keep her thieving hands off her possessions.
- DirectorCaroline AherneStarsCaroline AherneCraig CashSue JohnstonAntony announces that he and Darren are going to London on a musically-connected business trip and when Jim mocks him Denise uncharacteristically sticks up for her brother, accusing Jim of always putting him down. The Bests' baby is their talking point: Denise tells everybody how he spilled an ashtray over himself, and Dave says he's still building the toy farmyard. Nana is taking forever in the toilet, and when she comes downstairs she complains that she is constipated, but her affliction ends when she breaks wind.

Cheryl brings a succession of boyfriends to visit: the nervous Derek, whose ginger hair reminds Nana of 'Annie'; paintballing Slash; and a rabbi called Solomon. Denise gives birth to a daughter and names her Norma after Nana, which delights the great-granny, but just as Barbara is looking forward to having her floors laminated throughout, the worst happens: Nana slips away.
