Life Of Riley. Ted Jackson (Patrick Nolan). Copyright: Catherine Bailey Productions Limited
The cat's gone missing, half their possessions have vanished and a crate is doubling as the baby's cot. Maddy and Jim struggle to get used to their new house, their new neighbours - and each other's children.

Notes

This was produced as the first episode in the series, seeing the family moving into their house for the first time, but was aired out of order - presumably - in error.
