Him & Her

Steve and Becky are doing their usual thing - staying in bed and just about to have sex. Their plans are scuppered, however, when Laura turns up panicking because her fiance Paul has stayed out all night. Steve just wants Laura to leave but has to cover for Paul. And neighbour Dan wants to get melons. And eat them with spoons.

It's Steve's birthday and everyone wants to go out and get plastered - except Steve. He's ill in bed. Or at least he tells his mum and everyone else he is. When Becky, Laura, Shelly and Paul can't persuade him to go out and celebrate, Steve stays in and - with a little help from Dan - makes very good use of his presents.

Paul's son, Little Luke, is out of hospital so he's having a fancy dress party to celebrate. Steve and Becky have to go, but they don't want to. Becky dithers over a spot on her chin. Steve can't get through to his bank. And when a furious Paul comes over to see why they're so late and what's happened to the sausage rolls, it seems they have no option but to go.

Everyone is trying to watch the match between two local teams, except for Steve, who is bothered by a dream he had about Becky and her ex, Laura, who is bored, and Paul, who is miserable after his mum's shocking news. The afternoon couldn't really be going worse, until Steve comes out with what appears to be a racist comment.

It's a Sunday and Becky and Steve are bored. Their fridge is broken and Becky's parents are coming round to fix it. Steve has never met them before and he's terrified. When they arrive, he's overfriendly and frankly a bit odd. Matters are only made worse by Dan, who is audibly enjoying himself upstairs with his new girlfriend, Paris. At least, he says she's his girlfriend.

Steve and Becky are drunk and arguing. They storm back into the flat, soon followed by their even drunker friends and Jamie, Becky's oldest friend. While everyone helps themselves to his food and drinks, Steve tries in vain to deal with Becky and her close friendship with Jamie. Eventually he can't take it anymore and locks Becky in the bathroom. He has something he really needs to get off his chest.
