Summary
It's a mum-eat-mum world. The brave women and men of the school run come face to face with playdate politics, the PTA's reign of terror and never having a pee by yourself.

Ineffectual dad Kevin is pushed to the limit this week. Paul Ready does such a great job of playing a wimpish new man, it’s easy to forget he was equally good playing a sinister thug. (Remember him in a yellow suit in Utopia?).
Kevin gets involved in raising money for new goalposts at the school. As he explains to Liz, “The kids have done their self-portraits and we’re going to print them on tea towels and sell them to ourselves.” If there has been a better summing-up of primary school fundraising, I haven’t heard it.
While he frazzles, hideous Amanda takes on an assistant at her shop (“Don’t put all the biscotti jars out at once…”) – and we see her vulnerable side.
