    More like a Series 1 episode

    Basic plot is the daughter in an Italian family leaves her bad-tempered Irish doofus husband. He keeps coming round her family's house raising a ruckus, wondering where she's hiding. Terry McCann was their daughter's godfather back in the day, so he helps the search.

    Somewhere along the way a wanna-be Italian gangster is the rumored paramour of the daughter so before long he's crossing paths with McCann.

    The B plot sees Arthur Daley shifting answering machines and operating a yoga studio out of a nearby flat.

    None of it goes anywhere.

    This is the third dud episode in a row in Series 4, after a very strong start. They must have been running out of ideas.
