Further details
Thanks to a mistake by Mal, Jen's over-critical mum Maureen arrives in Florida three weeks early - much to Jen's horror. She's totally not ready and the park is in a real state so, instead, she whisks Maureen, Tina and Rhoda off to Paul's park for a weekend of pampering.
Meanwhile, Mal and Freddie hatch a new money-making scheme - and it involves hosting a highly unusual wedding.

Press
Sky's quest to hit the nail on the head with a Doc Martin/Stella-style comedy-drama continues with this gentle expat adventure. As Mal attempts to fund a renovation of the RV park, jettisoning his deadbeat residents, he must also contend with the arrival of Maureen, his mother-in-law. As you may have guessed, things don't quite go according to plan, with a Native American hex and a confusing Skype call contriving to stir the pot.
