Bad Move (2017 - 2018)

When Nicky and Steve discover that their kitchen has flooded, they have to call on Nicky's dad for help. The ever-unimpressed Ken duly arrives with a pump - but Steve is convinced that the source of the flooding could be a natural spring. He hopes this will be the answer to all their problems. Nicky takes a more practical approach to their finances and decides to earn some money by walking a villager's dog. But when the locally-based rock star Grizzo turns up with some alarming news, it is not just Nicky's job that might be at risk.

Nicky and Steve's dreams of peaceful country nights are shattered by Grizzo and his band rehearsing his latest album outdoors. But Steve is not getting much sleep anyway - his web design business is losing customers hand-over-fist to a rival firm. And just to rub it in, Matt and Meena's latest business venture is going from strength to strength. When they ask Steve for some free advice on designing a website he is not impressed. But that is nothing to his reaction when Nicky manages to land him with a work experience boy from the local village - the dreaded Bronson.

Nicky and Steve are alarmed to discover that an ancient public right of way runs straight through their garden. When Steve makes an enemy of the ramblers who insist on using it, a tense stand-off ensues. Will the neighbours sign their petition? Meanwhile, Matt and Meena's kids take part in a sponsored recorderthon for the local hospital, and the proud parents are adamant that Nicky and Steve should come along to support it. Also, Grizzo is preoccupied with a new tapping craze - could it be the answer to Nicky and Steve's problems?

Strange events disrupt Steve's plans to chase client payments. Nicky gets duped in to driving Alice all the way to hospital in Leeds.

When Meena and Matt force Steve and Nicky to throw a housewarming party, their city friends don't come, but the villagers provide enough drama.
