Having finally proposed to Sophie, Mark is having doubts: Is he settling for a sugar bowl he doesn't love, which he secretly wants to get chipped and broken, so he can get the one of his dreams?
Having finally proposed to Sophie, Mark is having doubts: Is he settling for a sugar bowl he doesn't love, which he secretly wants to get chipped and broken, so he can get the one of his dreams?
A weekend in the country brings things to the boil as the El Dude Brothers walk into Sophie’s parents' own marital holocaust during her birthday celebrations. And after a cosy fireside chat with Ian, Sophie's dad, Mark finally decides to make a stand.
However a combination of Jez, Sophie's mum and Diana Memorial Strawberry Jam, arson, half a rural cottage and a tragic game of 'truth', leads to Mark's good impression thermometer reaching absolute zero. Still who cares about being trapped in a loveless husk of a marriage when you can have a house in the Ardennes, and a flat in Barcelona?
