It's father's day and Tony arranges for Gary's dad to come and stay to cheer him up after being dumped by Dorothy. Unfortunately, Gary hates his dad whose favourite saying is "That'll be nice" and drinks too much tea.
Tony is dating 3 ladies, Sylvia, Heather and Imogen. Unfortunately, he can't keep up this stamina and devises a points system to work out which one he wants to keep.
Gary meanwhile has been invited to Dorothy's engagement party and needs a date. After having his plans constantly thwarted by his interfering Dad, he has exhausted his shortlist of birds. However, Dorothy turns up on his door after being dumped by Jamie and wants to get back together, more to make her feel better than anything else.
