Julia Davis and Marc Wootton star as a couple of maternity nurses who run their own business, "Sleepy Tigers".
As they move into the home of some very new parents, the nurses quickly start to take over and dish out the advice: "You are setting a pattern for baby's future the minute he comes out of the womb. Four days in and you could have a serial killer on your hands. Six weeks on and it's a lost cause, the personality is formed. But help is at hand!"
It soon transpires that having Sleepy Tigers staying in your house does not provide relaxation for mother as advertised.
