When hedonistic 24-year-old Gemma (Aimee Lou Wood) discovers she's pregnant after a random hook-up, she has no choice but to turn to her hapless father, Malcolm (David Morrissey) for support. Recently divorced from Gemma's mum, Malcolm is unable to load a washing machine, boil an egg or microwave rice without it exploding. Up until now, he has been living in squalor with fellow divorcee Derek (David Fynn), so when Gemma's own flatmate decides to move out, the combination of financial desperation and a desire to not be totally alone makes her resort to the unthinkable: she asks her dad to move in with her. Because what's the worst that could happen...?
