Series 1, Episode 2 - Papa's Got A Brand New Bag

Bex is traumatised when she returns home to find her father in her bed with a woman who is not her mother. Meanwhile, Charles and Chris gleefully organise a staff weekend away, taking care not to invite any of the others - but are dismayed to be greeted by a tent instead of the luxury hotel they expected.

Further details

It's time for the annual office weekend away. Or rather it was until it was decided, by the bosses, that only the bosses could go.

Ruefully, Bex returns home to find her father in a compromising position with a female friend, in her bed.

She is traumatised and cannot contemplate using her bedroom ever again.

Meanwhile, Charles and Chris gleefully head off intending to make the most of a luxury hotel only to find themselves roughing it in the woods instead.

Surprisingly, Chris discovers her true self during the survival course but lands Charles with a black eye in the process.
