spare time, they earn money babysitting for married couple Bob and Michelle.
Behind Michelle's back, Bob embarks on an affair with both Rita and Sue, who
take it in turns with him in his car in the countryside. Michelle eventually
finds out and leaves lothario Bob. When Bob later develops a preference for
Rita, the two girls fall out but when Sue ends up in an abusive relationship,
the trio are reunited. Darren, a star of stage and screen and well known TV
presenter, will be acting alongside his real life wife, Emmerdale actress,
Stephanie Dooley, who plays Michelle. They will be joined by Emily Fleesham
