It is every grandfather's dream to be chosen by his granddaughter as a role model for her class at school, but for Rab it becomes a nightmare when he finds out that Peaches' teacher is an alcoholic and a member of his self help group.
At 60, Jamesie too is struggling to live up to his own personal expectations - of staying forever young. At his birthday party he dyes his hair, gets a ponytail and insists on having large helpings of jelly.
