Sitcom about sensible schoolboy Errol and his rather immature Uncle Andy. Andy holds auditions for his new band so he can enter the Battle of the Bands competition at Val's club.
Sam is mortified when Errol catches her in an embarrassing position, while Andy is horrified when Val Pearson catches him spying outside his club. Andy holds auditions for his new band so he can enter the Battle of the Bands competition at Val's club, meaning he can spend quality time with Gwen. Errol and Andy have a man-to-man chat about the opposite sex, and Sam goes on a string of disastrous dates. Andy escorts Errol when he takes Ruby on a date, and bumps into Melodie. Andy recruits a surprise new band member and they play at Battle of the Bands.
