- Episode 2
E2Episode 2Nobody seems to think it a good idea that Rob marries Sharon, certainly not his mother, whom he phones long distance, or Dave, his only friend in London. Fortunately Sharon's brother Fergal is - marginally - more encouraging and helps him choose the cheaper of two engagement rings. So Rob goes down on one knee to Sharon and tries again. - Episode 3
E3Episode 3Sharon keeps waking in the night worrying about her pregnancy whilst Rob is having problems generating business for the advertising agency and is relieved to run into Chris, who, on a night out, suggests a career change. Sharon is not encouraging. Sharon herself meets up with old flame Owen, who is now married to a best selling authoress, which makes Sharon feel a failure. Fortunately for her Rob is sympathetic. - Episode 4
E4Episode 4Rob meets Sharon's parents, who are delighted about the engagement but less so about the pregnancy. Worse is to come when Sharon is told that, as an older mother, she runs the risk of giving birth to a Downs Syndrome baby. Rob also has to explain to Fran that Chris is out drinking with him and not having an affair but this too ends in disaster.
