House Party

Following her divorce, Amanda finds herself downsizing from Chiswick to So-ha (South Harlesden). Amanda rekindles her friendship with Anne, her ex-bff from the old primary school gates. Amanda’s children, Georgie and Manus, have recently moved to the same local high school as Anne’s son Darius. Amanda is delighted when Georgie befriends Morten, the daughter of celebrity chef Della Fry, the owner of trendy local eatery SHIN.

Realising her way in is through the local football club, Amanda signs the kids up to Hounslow Eagle FC, despite having zero interest in soccer. Meanwhile, Anne organises welcome drinks to introduce Amanda to the ‘Anne Gang’ the same night as Georgie’s invited to Morten’s house party at Della and her wife Fi’s house. Amanda is torn. Does she go and 'sink some fizz' with Anne, or does she capitalise on the opportunity to take a dip in Della and Fi’s hot tub?

While all this is going on, Amanda’s mother Felicity offers to babysit Manus (mainly to avoid her PA/carer Joy), and Amanda continues to contest the parking space outside her flat with her neighbour and fellow school parent Mal. In turn, Mal navigates the world of co-parenting with his son’s step-dad, JJ.
