The years of childcare have taken their toll on the marriage and Felicity dives headfirst into trying to re-ignite that spark of love. Paul, somewhat bewildered by his wife's endeavours, gamely plays along with her efforts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHilarity ensues as Felicity devotes all her energies into the new project but as it turns out, recapturing romantic bliss isn't as easy as it sounds, and poor Felicity feels thwarted at every turn. The cost-of-living crisis means she might have to lose the twins' beloved nanny, and is there time to make plans with Paul when she feels she must give advice to their friends Diana and Dickie on the state of their marriage? What's more, Felicity decides to organise a fundraiser for single mothers by writing, directing, and starring in her own rhyming pantomime in the local church hall. Is there any time for love...?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen an unexpected cash windfall allows the couple to escape for a passionate weekend to Brighton, the riotous consequences are not exactly what Felicity had in mind.
