Further details
The family are stunned when Grandma announces she's back with Mr Morris (her horrible 85 year-old male friend from Series 2, who tried to beat up all the men of the house), and has invited him over for dinner. Grandma assures the family that his terrible temper is now under control. "Whenever he gets angry, he just sits in his car and screams."
Mr Morris is on his best behaviour, presenting mum with a photograph of himself as a youth. "I was a very good-looking young man. Much more good-looking that your two boys."
After a stressful dinner, during which Mr Morris moans about the number of "punk rockers" everywhere, Mr Morris gets down on one knee and proposes to Grandma. To the family's horror, she accepts. "We're engaged!" says Grandma, delighted. Mum is horrified.
To celebrate, Mr Morris takes them all out bowling, but it doesn't go well, as Mr Morris picks arguments with every man who dares even look at Grandma. It all culminates in a massive brawl involving Mr Morris and Jim, who happens to be dressed in full dog costume, complete with doggy testicles.
