Episode 30: Love Hurts Annie and Hector are having a romantic meal for two in a restaurant. Annie seems rather stressed. She is still jealous, because she thinks that Hector has another girlfriend. Bridget is suspicious too. She has been promoted and is now an editor at Channel 9. Annie is in the flat cutting up photos of her and Hector as she is convinced that he is having an affair. Nick is practising his new acting technique, ‘Total Being’. Hector wants to talk to him about Annie’s concerns. Hector says he is not having an affair with anyone. At work, Annie gives a parking ticket to a cute guy called Zeus. When she tells Nick, he doesn’t react because he is ‘being’ pain. Hector continues to get calls from someone called Lola. The next day, Zeus has parked in the same place so Annie sees his van again. Annie gives Zeus her phone number. Nick comes in with some new glasses. Bridget surprises him by saying that they suit him. Bridget is unhappy in her new job, but Nick reassures her. Annie is convinced that Hector is going out with Lola, but then she receives a call from Zeus. Annie brings him back to the flat. Bridget is very impressed. Hector comes in saying he must talk to her. He announces that Argentinian television want him to go back to South America and present their top show. So, does he stay – or does he go?

Episode 29: Camping Nick is learning some SAS techniques, as he wants to join the army. Bridget finds this very funny but Nick is sure he has the ability because he was a Scout. Hector and Eunice are reporting from the National Camping Exhibition. Annie is worried that Hector and Eunice are getting too close. Bridget, Annie and Nick imagine Nick as a Scout. Hector returns home, smelling of perfume. Annie confronts him although he protests his innocence. Hector admits to Nick that Eunice has been taking a lot of interest in him. Bridget finds her old Brownie uniform so the girls decide to remember the Brownie law and do a good turn every day. They discuss the merits of Brownies and Scouts. The girls decide to give the boys a survival test which they fail. They decide to go camping. Hector will get a tent from the exhibition. He returns home late again – with the tent – and persuades Nick to help him put the tent up in the flat, hoping that Annie will forgive him. Annie gets up during the night and falls over it. On the camping trip itself no one will leave the tent because they are so scared. A mystery figure appears outside the tent. It is Nick’s mum – they are camping in her garden and she has brought them some tea.

Episode 28: Christmas Annie and Hector are discussing traditional Christmas customs while Bridget is going to another Christmas party. Nick returns home from work where he has been working as Father Christmas in a grotto. He is not happy. Bridget falls over his sleigh and ends up with a broken leg. Nick explains ‘mince pies’ to Hector as they pull a traditional Christmas cracker. Hector buys ingredients to make mince pies as a surprise for the others. He has mistakenly understood that the pies are filled with ‘minced meat’. Annie comes home from Christmas shopping and tries one. It’s horrible so she gives it to the dog. She explains the error to Hector. Nick loves his pies. Annie suggests that they go carol singing for charity. The carol singing is not a success. Annie decorates the tree with tasteful decorations and Hector arrives with some horrible decorations. Nick comes home after doing his Christmas shopping at the petrol station. They decide to have a party at the flat. Early next morning Bernard arrives for lunch while the others recover from the party. They distribute the presents. Bernard drinks a lot of sherry. Eunice arrives as Father Christmas, which impresses the boys. The turkey is ruined because they leave it in the oven too long – and Hector has another surprise, a real chocolate log for dessert.

Episode 27: Can You Live Without ... ? The friends are watching the Marty Ross show, ‘Can You Live Without ...’ and Nick suggests that they be contestants on the show. They must go for 24 hours without their favourite things. There is a big prize so Bridget agrees to ask Marty to put them on the show. She persuades him with the help of some ‘interesting’ photographs of him. He agrees and the TV crew move in to set up the cameras in the flat. Bridget has to live without chocolate, mirrors and make-up. Annie has to live without touching Hector, sucking her thumb and without her dog Charley. Hector has to live without touching Annie and chewing gum. Nick has to live without talking about ‘babes’ and motorbikes. All of them have to live without television, magazines and music. Marty takes Charley out of the flat. Annie starts crying but Hector can’t hug her. Mini cameras are placed around the flat to record their challenge, including their ‘temptations’, designed to make them lose points.

Episode 26: Alibi Bridget says that Annie is talking too much. Annie explains that at 10 o’clock she starts a sponsored silence (for the charity ‘Pigs with no Parents’). Hector has a new outfit, but Nick is not interested as he has a toothache. Nick cannot even hear the word ‘dentist’ so Hector has to say ‘plumber’ instead. He takes him next door to see if the girls know a good ‘plumber’. Just before 10 o’clock, Bernard calls to say he has been burgled, and someone has taken all his clothes. Annie tells him to call the police. She starts her sponsored silence. A detective arrives at the flat but Annie cannot speak, so has to act out everything she wants to say. The boys arrive back from the dentist’s but Nick can’t speak very well. When the detective questions him, he has to act out the answers too. Do they have an alibi? The detective is suspicious of Hector’s new clothes. Bridget returns from the beautician’s – her top lip is bright red. The detective accuses Hector of stealing the clothes. Bernard’s mother calls and they learn that she put his clothes in the washing machine before she went out to Bingo.

Hector walks into the girls’ flat to find Ziggy in a cardboard box. It’s part of a Farm Animal Protest and Annie asks the boys to help. Bridget gets some tickets for the exhibition preview and asks Marty to come to the flat for drinks first. Bridget then orders the others to redecorate the flat to fit into Marty’s arty style. She goes to bed while the others start work. The next morning the work is finished but Annie still has to prepare for the protest. Boggy and Moss, some eco- warriors from Manchester, are coming to the protest. Nick gets ready by making himself look more ‘interesting’. Hector is preparing the ‘nibbles’ when Boggy and Moss arrive.

Bridget is horrified but Marty loves it. Annie and Ziggy bring a pig pen back to the flat. Hector and Nick sell a wall of the flat to Marty. Then the kidnapped pig arrives ...

Annie has been given a precious piece of furniture from her grandmother. Nick arrives – dressed as an airline pilot. He has a part in a play in Paris. Hector helps him learn his lines. Bridget goes into work, and orders the builders to start work in Eunice’s flat but the builders were supposed to be working at Channel 9. Eunice announces that she will be staying with Bridget and Annie until the work is finished. She is a very demanding guest but Bridget doesn’t want to lose her job so has to accept it. The director of the play calls Nick to say that one of the actresses is ill. Nick says he knows the perfect replacement and offers Hector a free ticket to Paris. They arrive in Paris and Nick announces to Hector that he is to play the part of the air stewardess. Back in London, Eunice has given Annie’s grandmother’s chest a new look, by painting it orange.

Ziggy is dared to kiss Nick, but Bridget teases her about it. They decide on a group Dare ... they must all spend 24 hours telling the truth. If successful they will win a meal at a fashionable restaurant. Nick has a nightmare in which Annie appears as a Judge, which terrifies him, so he takes his truthful 24 hours very seriously.

The boys want to learn about palm reading but in the end they read their horoscopes to find out what will happen that day. Nick must beware of black hair and the number three. There is a knock at the door. It is Bernard, the neighbour. He has 'lost his Marbles' (his cat). Later, Hector tells a spooky story. Nick pretends to dismiss it, but he is very frightened. He thinks that something strange is happening: a bad apple, a broken mirror, a black cat and strange noises at the door. He opens it and finds three children dressed as ghouls, then goes next door to find three grown-up ghouls. The children are trick-or-treaters and the grown ups are Hector, Annie and Bridget dressed up, ready for the Halloween party. At the party, Nick is convinced that three girls with black hair like him. Later, they return to the flat and there is a power cut, and even more strange, noises from outside the window. It is Bernard, out on the roof, looking for his cat, Marbles. The boys are scared and don't want to go to bed, so they start playing scary games. Hector and Nick return to their own beds but the storm outside continues to terrify them. Bernard eventually finds his cat on Hector’s bed.

She tries to hypnotise Charley, Nick and Hector but nothing happens. Bridget does a news story about how the rich organise their children's parties. Nick suggests that he and Hector could make a fortune as party organisers for the children of the rich and famous. Nick sets up a web page to advertise, and almost immediately they have a client. It is Victoria Ducas, Nick's old friend who married a famous film director. The real party entertainers have been booked for that day – and she needs to throw a party for her daughter Daisy. The boys drive off in their 'Posh Party' van. Bridget has reluctantly agreed to help. The children are hard to please, but Hector and Nick start their magic show. Everything goes wrong as Daisy disappears – completely – in the magic wigwam. They try to distract everyone with a big cake. Hector and Nick start behaving very strangely. It seems that Annie's hypnotism did work – but only Annie can reverse the hypnotic state. Annie saves the day and finds the lost child. For the children, it was the best party ever – although Victoria Ducas does not agree.

Episode 20: Every Dog has its Day Hector, Nick and Charley are watching a dog show on TV. When the boys hear that there is a large cash prize for the winner they decide to enter Charley.

When Nick goes back to find him, the dog has disappeared and there is a note in his place, saying that they are too cruel to be dog owners. They begin an intensive search.

They are all eventually reunited and after some training, the boys take Charley to the dog show. They win the show, and even Annie is pleased. Unfortunately the £2,000 prize can only be spent in the pet shop. Charley then reveals the thief ... Phillip.
