Further details

The King family are on holiday on the British coast and Gary specifically wants to spend some quality time with the love of his life Terri, but she is obsessed with making 'holiday pals' and befriends a French family who scupper all of Gary's plans.

Terri really hits it off with Marie-Laure but her husband Fred is less friendly and has nothing in common with Gary, who finds himself left looking after the kids while everyone else has a good time.

Big Gary is excited about getting a pasty from a shop he visited years ago, but he can't quite remember its location. Denise can remember but her fear of seagulls means that she won't dare go down the sea front. Can she overcome her fears so Big Gary can get his hands on his beloved pasty?

Press

Tom Davis's comedy of manners comes to its end after a somewhat predictable but nonetheless entertaining first series. Finally out of the suburbs and taking a holiday at the British seaside, Gary (Davis) has his plans for a quiet family getaway scuppered by wife Terri's plans to make holiday friends with a glamorous French couple. Meanwhile, Big Gary is on the hunt for the fabled pasty he had when he last visited decades ago, but can't remember where the shop is. A much-needed dose of summer.
