Series 1, Episode 3 - Stress And Drugs

Martin blows his top when his daughter crashes yet another car, so he and Julie seek advice on managing stress from their friends - whose suggestions aren't quite what they expected.

Further details

As his daughter smacks up another car whilst learning to drive, Martin is getting more stressed than usual. Julie suggests they seek advice from their friends Duncan and Sarah as to what they should do to reduce the anxiety levels. Duncan suggests Martin gets a completely new job and Sarah suggests Julie feeds Martin her left-over prescription drugs to help him through the job interviews. Not a good idea. Martin gets very strange in front of a very straight interview panel.
