Series 1, Episode 1 - Chunnel Vision

After a particularly bad day at work, William's horrified to discover he's forgotten an important dinner meeting - and more shocked still to be offered a high-paying job in France. Hester's more than a little keen, but can the Fields make such a big move so relatively late in life?
