A whole year on from the last time we met them, and Lance is still lovelorn after the departure of his ex-wife. But just maybe he is about to surprise everybody with a new relationship.

Having returned from Africa, Andy and Becky have moved in temporarily with her mother with all the challenges that come with the territory.
