The kids (Alex Eastwood and Eve Prenelle) are grown up somewhat but somehow, miraculously, are polite and not foul mouthed like their parents. Flashbacks abound, and editor Mark Henson is pulling off that great Tony Gibbs trick of flashing you a moment from the upcoming scene.
As is often the way with series these days, a number of other writers and directors came in on the project.
Luke finds a friend, a young polymath who knows all about the Beat Poets and coffee, and they plan to try dope but the parents find out.. the father loses it, the boy runs off, then punches him in the face, then refuses to come back home, blaming his father's 'demented rage'. Ultimately he says he's only happy when his Dad's not around, so Freeman moves into his parents' (who themselves have just been moved into a smaller council flat).
'I feel I've been having to protect him from you' says wife Daisy Haggard, summarising things.
The house is in St Alphonsus Place, Clapham, where there always seems to be somewhere to park, though these are in fact all flats. The house interior with its somewhat weird layout is a set.
