Episodes
Janet seriously considers taking the cruise-ship job and Jonny is keen to accompany her as he wants to be a pirate, but when Janet learns that the job is little more than being a stripper, they decide to stay at home. Gaz's father puts his garage up for sale and Donna buys it with the remains of the money from the house sale so that Gaz will still be working. Louise goes to visit her mother in hospital and learns that she was adopted.
Passed over for promotion at work in favor of a man, Donna feels she is the victim of sexism and steals a van to prove she is as good a driver as any male--but crashes it and gets fired. Janet decides to work from home making squeaky goblin toys for children, but they are so ugly that Jonny believes that they are possessed and wants them out, so she gets Gaz to store them in the garage. Louise gets a letter from her real mother and is delighted to learn she is from a wealthy part of Runcorn.
Donna starts work at the garage with Gaz, but they spend more time having sex than working until she assumes the persona of a man, calling herself Don, to attract more work. Janet gets a job on a phone-sex chatline but is so bad at it that the punters keep hanging up on her. Louise gets to meet her parents but is convinced that the man is not her real father because he is ginger.
Gaz gets down on one knee to propose to Donna, who initially declines, then changes her mind. However, when she learns that Gaz is planning a wedding ceremony in the Archer, she refuses again. Having accidentally walked out of a baby-clothes store without paying, Janet develops a taste for shoplifting as she is hard up for cash; a shocked Jonny decides that he will knit Corinthian's clothes, but the result is a mess. Louise at last meets her real father Brian, but the reunion is short-lived: he is an alcoholic who touches her for money; he's also gay and throws himself at Jonny.
Gaz wants to have a baby with Donna, partly so that he can marry her. She agrees to try for one but takes the morning-after pill directly afterwards. Jonny, angry that Brian thought he was gay, decides to adopt a macho attitude but ends up nearly hitting Janet, so he reverts to being calm and serene and rescuing his wife from an alky at the pub where Louise, believing that she is an alcoholic, has decided to hold an AA meeting. But Gaz confronts him, claiming that he is Corinthian's true father and he wants to take him.
The lives and loves of five friends in the Northern town of Runcorn.
