Life at the Harpers' is chaos as usual. Nick's laid back Welsh friend Alfie the would-be musician has moved in, and Roger deploys the Welsh he learnt for a summer job at Carnarvon Castle in his efforts to woo Abi. Ben has a serious run in with the local cycling community, Susan takes a new job at the art gallery and Michael sells their address in his latest money-making racket. Janey is preoccupied by various unsuitable romances, and some squatters take up residence next door.
