Linda La Hughes (Kathy Burke) shares a flat with Tom Farrell (James Dreyfus). Linda is overweight, loudmouthed and not particularly attractive. She thinks she's gorgeous and irrestible, however. She's also sex mad and obsessed with men. Tom is an aspiring actor. He's got an agent, but finds it difficult to get parts. He doesn't like Linda much, in spite of (or perhaps because of) the fact that they share a flat. She isn't completely comfortable with his homosexuality, perhaps because she finds it difficult to live with a man who doesn't find her sexually attractive.
Linda's old Prison Warden from Borstal comes to camp in their backyard, while Tom gets to meet the guy he's dreamed of meeting his entire life: Simon Shepherd from Peak Practice.
It's the first night of Tom's play starring alongside Tom Cruise, but things don't go according to plan when he forgets his one and only line.
Linda gets a surprise when her son appears out of nowhere to catch up on things. No one can believe it when he turns out to be black. Also, Suze begins going into labor.
Linda's in hospital from falling off a bus and having a saucepan stuck to her head. While Tom stars in his first major TV show, things go awry when an old flame from school puts him a sticky predicament.
Linda's dreams of becoming a model come true when Suze gets her a chance to be part of a fashion showcase, not knowing it's for ugly people. Tom gets singing lessons from Heidi, a look-a-like of Linda.
Suze thinks that Jez is having an affair, so he gets Linda to go undercover to discover the truth. Meanwhile, Tom gets a part on the nation's biggest soap: Crossroads. He plays a bellboy.
