1Owner OccupiersShelley, now in work, looks for somewhere to live with wife-to-be Fran and their impending child. A visit to the local Bank leads them nowhere to getting a mortgage as they don't have a bank account.
2Expletive DeletedShelley has to come up with a sales campaign for a new range of Instant Paella. The stuff proves hard to market as it is virtually tasteless.
3Tea and SympathyShelley is working on an ad campaign for striped pyjamas when a crisis interrupts his train of thought. A fellow lodger, Miss Landis, is so lonely and depressed in the big city she takes an overdose of sleeping pills.
4Hearth and HomeShelley and Fran are in their bed-sit as usual. She is engrossed in a dog-eared copy of George Orwell's 'Keep The Aspidistra Flying' while he tries to strike up a conversation with her.
5Fully FurnishedShelley wants to buy an old book in a junk shop but the dealer tries to make him think it is worth far more than it really is. After a protracted debate, the dealer agrees to let him have it for nothing.
6Dearly BelovedMrs.H and Shelley's mother spend the night at Fran's Dad's palatial house in Shropshire. Isobel's liberal attitude to life and free use of language clearly embarrass the host.
