About this programme

5/6. Adam tries to celebrate his birthday, but the evening is spoiled when Sheila Bloom, who is famously obsessed with her car, makes catty remarks about his vehicle. His father then reveals he used to date her years ago, upsetting Mum in the process. Finally, the family abandons dinner and heads to a Chinese restaurant, only for Sheila to reappear, forcing Dad to explain what the pair really got up to.
