Further details
Frank stuns the family by turning up in the morning to get his post and it's not even Giro day. When a mountain of unpaid bills and some very scary-looking bailiffs turn up at the house, the family discover that Frank is hatching a plan to get his hands on maintenance from his ex-wife Monica, despite the fact he's not living with his kids either.
What will the return of their mother to the house do to the kids? And how is Norma, her fat black lesbian lover going to react?
Tony the local copper has a proposal for Fiona, which sets her wondering about Steve. What is he really doing with her?
By making the CSA claim Frank has re-awoken official interest in him, and the bailiffs come round to recover some old outstanding debts or break his legs trying. How will Frank get back into the house without alerting the two meatheads waiting outside? Frank takes some tips from Lolly the local transsexual to avoid a beating.
