In this series, we will see Ken (Greg Davies) have a mid-life wobble. He’s not quite settling back in to his groove post-paternity leave. He’s lost his mojo at work, and all his power has been usurped by dastardly work rival, Jane. After a humiliating incident at the Lawyer of the Year awards, Ken gets a suspension from work for a month. But he can’t bear to tell Lorna. He pretends to be going to work each day, while actually hanging out in ‘All Steve’s Pals’, drinking and making more unsuitable friends…  Can Ken get back on the straight and narrow and sort out his career once and for all…

Dale (Taylor Lautner) is still enjoying settling down in his adopted hometown of Lichfield, happy as could be in relationship bliss with Rachel. At the start of the series, Dale asks Ken for Rachel’s hand in marriage, but Ken advises him that he needs to get more settled first. Sid’s at nursery now, so Dale needs to think of what he’s going to for a job. After self-actualising himself as a business visionary, he decides to go into business with Steve Chance on “All Steve’s Pals”, Lichfield’s premier cocktail establishment. 

​

Rachel on the other hand, is not ready to settle down. She’s still living with her mum and dad, tyrannised by her boss Nina and getting serious wanderlust. She wants to bust out of Lichfield and see the world with Dale. But Dale’s getting more and more enthused about his business, trying to provide a future for him and Rachel, while Rachel is TRYING to be supportive but would actually rather he packed it all in. Will our favourite couple get over this first relationship hump and figure out what their future together should look like?
