Further details

After a bit of gentle persuasion by Marion, Mike and Karen decide to move in together and go flat-hunting in the town. However, Mike's promise to Karen that he'll tell Bigsy that he's moving out is proving more difficult to deliver than he thought.

Bigsy has other things on his mind though, namely Lisa Marie. Meanwhile, Geraldine finally admits to Karen that she's feeling the strain of the salon's financial difficulties and things only get worse when the police pay her a visit.

Press

A slightly wooden Jason Manford returns in this wry take on a couple reunited from Derren Litten, creator of Benidorm. This week, Manford's Mike is finally taking the leap and moving back in with Karen (Catherine Tyldesley). But it doesn't come without its challenges, namely his gormless flatmate Bigsy.
