Further details

Adele has plans to see her 'businessman' boyfriend, Dennis. But her dad, Roly, isn't happy about this, and neither is mum, Natalie: they both think Dennis is a terrible influence on her. Adele persuades them to invite him round, to see that really Dennis is a fine, upstanding pillar of the community. But things don't quite go to plan.

Meanwhile Natalie has bought Aiden some new trainers in return for all the work he's been doing around the house. The trouble is they're not the right brand and a defiant Aiden decides to deface them. Roly asserts his authority, insisting Aiden wears the mutilated trainers to school as punishment.
