However Chris loves his boss Fiona (Sarah Hadland) who is having an affair with Beverly's colleague, policeman Gerry.

Beverly tries to raise cash for her driving lessons, because Ian spent all their money on a pair of owls, hoping to sell their offspring for a profit.

The owl and eggs are saved, reuniting the family, giving Beverly enough confidence to try her test again, and pass this time.

Writer Jessica Hynes, who also stars as Beverly, had previously appeared together with David Tennant in the Doctor Who episodes "Human Nature" and "The Family of Blood".

[3] Beverly's house was filmed at Breach Barnes in Waltham Abbey behind First Avenue.
