Further details
This week Warwick's on the move. After flat hunting with the help of his assistant Cheryl, Warwick moves into his new apartment. He's also seeking to oust the current head and get himself elected as Chairman of The Society of People of Small Stature.
Meanwhile, messy divorce proceedings continue with his estranged wife Sue, not made any better when he drops in on the old family home and finds her looking rather cosy with her solicitor, Ian.
Troubled by this unexpected turn of events, he turns to Ricky and Stephen for more personal advice and witnesses an awkward video call between Ricky and The Office star Steve Carell...
