Set in Bob's home, the show once again stars larger than life lothario Beef alongside Vic's brother Bosh and Bob's sulky son Eric while their eccentric neighbour, Julie, starts the new series by opening a bistro.

Bob feels it is high time his 23-year-old son learns about the 'birds and the biscuits' and with Vic and Beef's help arranges a blind date for Erik at Julie's Bistro.

With their band's debut gig also due to take place at Julie's that night, Vic and Bob are having musical differences. Will Beef's cunning plan save the day?

Despite Erik's problems in selecting an appropriate outfit for his big night out, his date with Rachel (played by new regular cast member Ellie White) goes surprisingly well. Has Erik finally met his match?
