Further details
Bob, and Frank have thrown themselves into their first love - the burger van business.
Bob confidently predicts that his cheeseburgers will act as an aphrodisiac for the women of Broughty Ferry, but matters of the heart soon lead our brave duo astray.
When Frank reveals his relationship with his swimming instructor, Dorothy (Anita Vettesse), Bob's jealousy tests their friendship to breaking point. As Bob explains to Frank: "Cheeseburger van men are like members of a boy band. The public need to think we're romantically available."
