Further details
Al gets a surprise visit from Sean, a boy with a transitioning parent and a troubled past. Ever-competitive Nitin can't get over Martin being Mimi's mentor.
Denise's brother Dennis visits and takes a shine to Rose, much to Denise's fury.
At the supermarket, Nitin bumps into Zak, the litigious snob whose wife has now left him - drunk in charge of the baby.
And Ingrid is excited about her 14 year-old foster son Limahl; it's not a problem that he stubbed out his cigarette in his 'Welcome' cake.

Press
More juxtapositions of child neglect, abuse and comedy from the bickering staff at Elm Heath Children's Services. This week, Al deals with a troubled teenager who has a transitioning parent and Nitin bumps into a banker with a drink problem who is struggling to raise his son. Hilarious!
