It's 27th December and Simon and Esther pay a flying visit to Ray and Sue. They can only stay for the day as Simon is so busy with work. Sue wishes they'd stay longer. A reunion at the local pub reminds Simon of what he might be missing.
It is Saturday and the family visit Aunty Rose in the nursing home and have a nose at Alan Titchmarsh's house. Back home, Donna risks everything by suggesting she makes the tea to give Sue a break.
It is Sunday and Simon's 40th birthday. Preparations for the lunch are in full swing but the stress levels are sky high. Larry and Melissa disrupt the day and Simon shares some big news with Ray.
It is Friday and Simon and his new girlfriend Donna arrive on the Isle of Wight to stay with Simon's well-meaning but overbearing family for his 40th birthday weekend celebrations.
Simon and his new partner Esther arrive on the Island. Sue is impressed with Esther's legs and nose piercing, but everyone is impressed with Lyn's huge marrow.
