Tue, Aug 29, 2000

Each year Eric plays in the parents v children cricket match at his kids school. Each year he is bowled first ball by the kiddie with the thick glasses while his perfect next door neighbour, Ray Perfect, makes a hundred then deliberately gives away his wicket. When Brian and Claire produce a collage at school entitled "The Shame", Eric is shocked at the damage his repeated failure is inflicting on his kids. He resolves to make one last stab at getting off the mark.

S2.E6 ∙ Au Pair

Tue, Oct 03, 2000

Au Pair Maria has gone too far this time. She has posed naked for the adult magazine "Bare Au Pair" and has left a copy lying around the house. Not only has Eric got to sack Maria and find a replacement, he now has to explain to his kids, some five years before he is ready, what the naked bodies in the magazine are really for.

S2.E7 ∙ Drool

Tue, Oct 10, 2000

PP, Eric's boss, has a menopausal crush on a pretty young thing, Sherry, from the canteen. Heady with lust he over-promotes her ridiculously until she becomes Head of Office Services responsible for a huge budget. Eric is brought in as the fall guy and made responsible for her every mistake, of which there are many. And things get even worse for him when Sherry rejects PP's advances and declares that Eric is the one she loves.
