Further details

Nicky and Steve decide to put a brave face on things and invite all their old friends from Leeds for a long-overdue housewarming party.

Their permanently smug neighbours Matt and Meena enthusiastically join in the preparations. Even Nicky's dad Ken decides to grace the party with his presence, although he wastes no opportunity in telling them that their money would be better spent doing their house up.

It looks as if most of Nicky and Steve's friends from Leeds will not be coming, but when word of the party gets round the village, a very different guest list threatens to turn up - including the dreaded Bronson. But it is Grizzo whose arrival causes the most excitement.

Press

This latest in a number of attempts to house Jack Dee in a sitcom has been a pretty decent effort - scotching the enduring, romantic notion of swapping city life for a bigger place in the country. In this last episode of the series, Nicky and Steve invite their friends from Leeds for a long-overdue housewarming party, but this is impossible to keep a secret in the village. This leads to the threat of gatecrashers, as well as help from Matt and Meena.
