Ken and Lorna Thompson are proud parents who are looking forward to seeing their daughter, Rachel, again upon her return to England after spending a year abroad. Their joy quickly turns to dismay, though, when she introduces them to her new husband, Cuckoo. As is befitting such a name, Cuckoo is a little too crazy for the elder Thompsons' tastes; he is an American hippie who is full of outlandish New Age ideas. Rachel and Cuckoo live in her parents' house until he heads out to attend university, which should be good news for his in-laws, right? Not so much. After his departure, a mysterious stranger, Dale Ashbrick, appears in their lives, bringing his own brand of craziness.

Regal R 50/100 - meh, season 4 was better, and it fell off when lautner left. the idea of adding ivy was good in theory but poorly implemented. tiresome and weird now. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I think this season was hilariously refreshing compared to the previous one (final season with Dale aka Taylor Lautner). It took me a couple episodes to really like Ivy, but I was legitimately sad the season was over. I quite enjoyed it! As usual, Rachel's storyline is the least interesting -- it almost got interesting and then it stopped haha Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member The two main characters are gone in season 5 , at least in episode 1, it was great until now Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I love Greg Davies and I love this series. Simple as that. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
