How Do You Want Me?

Ian finally receives his first business assignment: taking the primary school annual photograph. However, things don’t go quite to plan as his inexperience shows through and the students and staff are not as co-operative as he had hoped. Lisa’s father is determined to get his son in law to return to London and offers him a substantial sum of money to encourage him to leave. Meanwhile Lisa has problems of her own when it becomes apparent that her ex, Derek, still harbours feelings for her.

Derek’s continued obsession with Lisa creates friction. To support a village charity gala, Ian invites one of his friends from the London comedy club to perform. However his friend’s style of stand up proves to be a little too much for the audience.

There is a scandal in the village when Ian is accused of hitting a young boy. The Lyons find rural life rather dull and decide to enter the local bridge competition.

Lisa disagrees with the Headmaster about how the students should address the teachers. Ian gives up alcohol and has great difficulty getting hold of a drink when he wants one. Meanwhile, Dean is more than happy to share his mushrooms with Ian.

Derek has problems when he hires Dean to redesign his kitchen. Meanwhile, Ian agrees to look after Helen’s clothes shop while she is on holiday. All seems to be going well until his role as temporary manager goes to his head.

Ian struggles to find somewhere to live and Dean seems to be the only available option. Helen and Derek get close. Lisa’s father begins to recover and gives Ian an ultimatum: leave the village or be arrested for attempted murder.
