Episode 1

Can Karen and Jack stay married, even though he's openly gay? They're living their lives, getting on with their work, the kids seem to be fine - and then Jack drops a bombshell.

He wants to buy his own flat and move on - but that means the family house must be sold. Karen is outraged. After all he's put them through, he now wants to uproot them as well?

In this third series of writer Nicholas McInerny's autobiographical look at modern relationships, Jack and Karen are at a crossroads. Two years after he came out, they're still married, still close, have a regular date night each week and are both involved in steering their girls through their teenage years.

But time doesn't stand still and Jack wants to live openly as a gay man. He wants to find out what that could mean. He also wants to be a good dad and keep his family healthy and safe. So it's time for more negotiations with Karen and the girls to see how they can remain a close and loving family and allow each other to grow in their own different ways.
