Growing Pains - Series 2

The Hollingsworths have been fostering pre-adoptive babies one after the other for months and Tom's had enough of nappies and sleepless nights. Pat promises little Adam will be the last one – but then Caroline comes up with a request she can't refuse.

Tom is appalled at the prospect of his mother-in-law becoming his boss, but George reassures him she'll only be a sleeping partner. But sleeping is the last activity Joan has in mind.

Shane turns the Hollingsworth's world upside down.

Will the Hollingsworths survive their newest foster child, the demure Felicity?

Tom wants to do is go on holiday but when Mark and Lisa refuse to go, so does Pat. Then silent little Trudy appears and Tom grabs the chance to get his own way.

Trudy and the Hollingsworths have arrived in beautiful rural France, ready to start their holiday at last.

At first, Pat and Tom think that Trudy having leukaemia is probably the hardest thing they've ever had to face. But then her mother is released from prison and things begin to get even worse.

The family is just beginning to pick up the pieces again after Trudy's death. Tom has taken it particularly badly and starts behaving irrationally. At first Pat puts it down to their money worries – but then Tom tells her that he's bumped into an old flame from his schooldays.

Tom has had no sleep for days because JR and his feline friends have been holding all-night raves in the garden. So when Pat suggests adding a baby to the menagerie he puts his foot down – until she tells him that the baby was found tied to a radiator.

Pat is feeling taken for granted and isn't pleased when George takes Tom off for a golfing weekend. To add to her troubles, Uncle Jack is coming back from Australia – and Joan is behaving like a teenager in love.
