Romesh becomes sole carer for the day when Natasha is urgently called into work. Rom is convinced he will absolutely smash it at single parenting, but the business of having to juggle the pub and childcare becomes problematic when the fruit machine breaks and upsets regular Lemon.

Also, Lee decides he needs Rom's help to break it off with Julie and, somehow, Rom's youngest child, Charlie, goes missing.

Press

The likable sitcom where Romesh Ranganathan has inherited a pub but, for some reason, is not very happy about it returns for a second season. When his wife Natasha (Sian Gibson) is unexpectedly called into work, Rom has to look after their two kids while wrangling the roguish Seven Swans regulars.
