Jane leaves husband Pete, throwing Ken and Margaret’s weekly milk order into chaos. Stars Alison Steadman. From 2020.

Jane leaves husband Pete and goes to stay with her parents, throwing Ken and Margaret’s weekly milk order into chaos.

Pete struggles to hold the fort at home, but fails to notice 17 year old Holly going off to join Extinction Rebellion. Ian and Chloe are still just trying to get baby Don to stop crying.

The third series of Richard Herring’s comedy drama builds on the warm, lively characters and sharply observed family dynamics of previous series.

His affectionate observation of inter-generational misunderstanding, sibling sparring and the ties that bind will resonate with anyone who has ever gone back to live at home, after the age of 40.

Richard Herring is a comedian, writer, blogger and podcaster and the world's premier semi-professional self-playing snooker player.
