Local news reporter Chris Hawthorne (David Roper) and his wife, Fliss (Diane Keen), live a simple but contented life with their twin babies and few material possessions, punctuated by occasional visit from Fliss’s mum, Connie, and their eccentric neighbour, Austin Tweedale. All that changes, however, when they take in lodger Gavin Rumsey (Lewis Collins): newly single Gavin has soon filled the house with expensive furniture, flashy gadgets and a succession of decorative young ‘temps’ - and Chris and Fliss are left feeling distinctly squeezed out…
