Further details
Dan's teaching career is reduced to a few words in his final school assembly and some parting gestures from his child nemesis and Mr Klackoff. With Jo in sole charge of organising a Skype-ably impressive party at her shop, Dan can surely relax knowing that this is all in safe hands. But with the usually unflappable Nesta wrong-footed by sinister 'Daddy', Mum taking a turn for the worse, as well as the revelation of a mysterious terror-inducing local and seismic news from America... will Dan's world turn completely upside-down in this series finale?

Press
As Greg Davies's sitcom concludes, it's Dan's last day before he heads to the US to join his lady love, Emma. While some will scarcely miss his haplessness, Jo is trying to make his departure go with a bang, sorting out a party bus. Well, a van. A van that smells of meat. In fact, it's a meat van. Things go from bad to worse when the party and its guests go awol, but Tony Robinson's Daedalus finally gets his comeuppance, so it's not all bad.
Ben Arnold, The Guardian, 17th August 2016The bad news is that this is the last in the series. The good news is that the episode ends with a cliff hanger so all indications are that it'll be returning for a fourth series.
Dan makes his final preparations as he gets ready to depart for a new life in America. Jo is in charge of hosting his farewell party and intended to use her appropriately named shop, Special Needs, as the venue but when it suddenly gets closed down she has to use the back of a removal van. So when it drives off without them, it seems the party is over, but Dan has a plan. There's no way he's leaving without a party.
Elsewhere, sly old Daddy tries to prevent Dan's mum from seeing him off, but his evil schemes are finally disrupted, and Star Wars fans will need to have their eyes peeled to spot a weird cameo from Mark Hamill.
