Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps - 8 ª Season

Tim hosts a one-off fund raiser in support of the BBC 's charity night, including a three-part contest consisting of a bitch-off, a flirt-off, and a drink-off, accompanied by musical numbers. The show includes characters from two other sitcoms: 'Coming of Age' and 'Grownups,' in which Sheridan Smith played a character called Michelle.

Janet and Gaz are living as a couple, though he is irritated by her habit of starting every sentence with "Since Jonny died..." and the fact that she has made a candle out of Jonny's earwax to remember him by. His admission that he was going with Donna and Janet at the same time does not help either. However, they agree that they must move on, and, as the hospital letter showed that Corinthian was not Jonny's son, Janet urges Gaz to get a court order recognizing him as the boy's official father.

Gaz determines to be a good father, dressing the part and practising his parenting skills on Tim, who is trying to encourage Louise to be a better mother and stop leaving her baby behind when she goes out. Gaz goes to court and is granted his order, but Donna returns, followed by boyfriend Wesley, who is dismissive of Runcorn and wants her to go back to London with him.

While Tim persuades Louise that her baby does not need a father figure and that she can go it alone, Donna is annoyed after Gaz tries to set her up with a tramp as well as giving Wesley courtship advice that she finds questionable though she sees that he has her genuine interests at heart. Nonetheless, she decides to set up house with Wesley. After a youth mugs her, Janet becomes a police Community Support Officer.

With the divorce papers still not through, Donna and Gaz are unsure if they have done the right thing, but when Donna sees that Wesley is making an effort to fit into Runcorn life, she knows who she wants. Unfortunately, Wesley gets Tasered by Janet, who is desperate to arrest somebody, with the result that she gets arrested herself--and fired. Meanwhile, Louise quizzes her baby on I.Q. questions and mathematics, wanting to be a better mother than Janet.
