Series 2, Episode 1 - Still Crazy
The gang start to wonder when they became old!
Further details
Helen is going away for work and berates Patrick for being forgetful and lazy. Moira asks Billy to go to the hospital with her because her dad is seriously ill, something he agreed to after too much drink and before her turning him down! When Patrick tells Charlie off for playing her music too loud, it hits him that he's growing old!
Joe manages to patronise Patrick when he tells him it's never too late to be close to your daughter, to which Patrick assures him he has been a father for 17 years! Billy reassures him that asking Charlie to turn that noise down is just a sign of growing up, but Patrick is concerned that he's losing touch with music, so they decide to go to a gig.
When Helen arrives home early, she shares a fish finger sandwich with Charlie and they wonder where Patrick has gone. Helen feels a similar twinge of old age when Charlie thinks she's much more sensible than Patrick and would never have been wild. After a few tequilas and the gig, Helen and Patrick go home and put Ziggy Stardust on for a loud, drunken singalong. The roles are quite reversed when Charlie tells them it's late and she's got to get up early in the morning!
