Series 2, Episode 1 - Catchment If You Can

Grandad Sandy Hopper's quiet life is shattered when his daughter and son-in-law make use of his address.

Further details

Sandy's quiet life is shattered by the need to make himself scarce while his daughter Ellie and his son-in-law Blake pretend, for reasons of social mobility and educational opportunity, that his address is their address. Hiding in the shed doesn't seem right for someone who dreams of being a hero. Not in the world's eye, perhaps - but certainly in his grandson Tyson's.
