Donald is happy with his disorganised life. Sheila isn't happy with hers and when she receives a letter from her sister, she knows things can only get worse.
Donald is forced to ask Rosbottom for help. Unfortunately Rosbottom's idea of help doesn't coincide with Donald's.
Muriel thinks that the family needs a holiday. So does Donald but their .deas of a relaxing time are vastly different.
With sun, sea, wine and paella, Donald and Sheila feel they've got away from it all at last. Little do they know what Ruth has in store for them and how Ted feels about their holiday.
When Muriel talks Sheila into a trip to Bronte" country, her reasons are not entirely based on an appreciation of Wuthering Heights.
Ted is surprised at Donald's new-found ambition but Donald is even more surprised by the competition he faces.
