Episode 1

One family, three days, countless events. Welcome to the Wilde family, Kim, Dave, sister Jackie, kids, dog (Carpet), and their ailing mum. Kim and Dave are the sandwich generation couple who've put their lives on hold for the sake of others. She's a care worker, he drives limos, they live outside London and life is all right, I suppose. Until Auntie Jackie has an idea.

Welcome to the Wilde family. Kim has burnt her uniform, Dave cannot understand his wage slip, and son Max is missing school again to look after daughter Poppy. With Dave pondering a return to Iraq and no money left in the money jar, it is left to Kim's sister Jackie, aided by a damp patch and an unfinished extension, to suggest a simple plan to sort things out. Helping out with advice is fellow chauffeur Terry, with a view on everything and his own free-life tutoring course on offer. With the Picasso playing up and dog, baby and son in tow, Kim calls in the cavalry before outsource providers Buccaneer 2000 ('we care about your healthcare') can find out and dock her pay.
