I can't sit in my ivory tower. I really can't. I mean, one: I don't like heights. Um, two: it's not fair on the elephant."

THE SERVICES

Originally broadcast: 29 January 2003
Directed by: Hugo Blick
Written by: Hugo Blick, Rob Brydon

Keith has a job as a chauffeur, there's excitement about seeing the boys for the first time in over two years, and there's concern about appropriate gifts.

THE BOYS

Directed by: Hugo Blick
Written by: Hugo Blick, Rob Brydon

Keith likens John Lewis to the dark side of the moon, a trip to Brighton turns a bit spooky, and a long wait gives opportunity to go through the events that led to not seeing the boys for so long.

"I said, 'Watch out for the Child Catcher. If anybody offers you lollipops and he's got a long nose, say no. Unless it's a confectionery seller who just has a big nose... in which case, don't draw attention to it."

Written by: Hugo Blick, Rob Brydon

The social worker asks about Marion and Geoff's relationship, Keith enjoys a picnic in the park, and an emergency repair leads to an unexpected request.

"I said the joke about... Why are mushrooms fungal at a party? That's not right. Why do you want mushrooms at a party? Because they're fungal. Not it again. Why is... I'm absolutely useless at jokes."

THE HUSBAND

Originally broadcast: 18 February 2003
Directed by: Hugo Blick

Keith's impressed with the man of the house, an aspiring actress causes concern, and a film premiere opens to a very exclusive audience.

"This is the reality of it. Fame costs and this is where you start paying. Literally here, because this car park is pay and display."

GEOFF

Originally broadcast: 25 February 2003
Directed by: Hugo Blick
Written by: Hugo Blick, Rob Brydon

Keith's delighted that service stations may be about to become less important, an arrest brings Geoff back on the scene, and an awkward night out leaves a lump in the throat.

"I was actually very happy about that because I think a child should be with the natural father. Or in the case of Theresa's three other kids, with their brother's natural father."
