The Richardsons plans for a quiet family Christmas are thrown into even more chaos when more celebrities turn up unexpectedly, but it's perfect for the panto that Lucy wants to put on for Elsie. Did Lucy really get so drunk at Jools Holland's Hootenanny that she invited Jason Donovan over for Christmas dinner? And are they about to get a new stepfather in law in the shape of Johnny Vegas for Christmas?

In the Christmas special, Jon wants to give daughter Elsie the perfect vegan Christmas. But what he doesn't know is that Lucy has invited her mother Gill and Johnny Vegas over for the festivities. Vegas can't believe his luck when he gets to stay in Jon's pub for the duration. And is he falling in love with Lucy's mum? UKTV has already commissioned a second season. Season two centres on the further frustrations of married life, the clash of career and personal life and how Jon and Lucy have been coping since viewers last saw them, including dealing with life after lockdown, which Jon predicted of course, creating the perfect family Christmas and Lucy's mum Gill spotting some spooky going's on in The Dog and Bastard.

Lucy remembers the time she was in an episode of "Doctors" acting alongside "Fleabag" star Phoebe Waller Bridge. Jon's never seen the footage. Until now. Lucy's sitcom with "Car Share" co-creator Tim Reid is ready for a BBC run-through, with Johnny Vegas as one of its stars. But Jon hates the script. Johnny Vegas reckons that Jon's catchphrase "Save it for bingo" will be bigger than his catchphrase "monkey". Jon's not that bothered, because his Pixar film role is almost in the bag.

Chris Kamara invites Jon to take part in a Leeds United fundraiser for deprived children. Jon's against celebrity endorsement, but the Leeds connection makes him agree to do it. While he's away, Lucy tries to enrol Elsie in a private school - against Jon's wishes.

The Richardsons finally get invited to the showbiz event of the year: the Jonathan Ross Halloween party. Lucy's excited, especially when she meets Jason Donovan at the party, but she's not as excited as Jon who has an audition to be a voice in a Pixar film – his lifelong dream.

Lucy goes on a wild night out in London with TV personality Alan Carr, while back in Hebden Bridge, Jon spends the night with his best friend, Matt Forde.

Jon appears on Countdown with his comedy hero Jack Dee, who gives him some career advice. Lucy secretly signs Jon up to be the celebrity judge at the World Dock Pudding Competition in Hebden Bridge. And Jon's not happy when he finds out. But it's Lucy who is really annoyed when she finds evidence that Jon is having a celebrity affair with an 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown co-star.

Lucy wants Jon to appear on All Star and Mrs playing against Rob Beckett. Jon's still annoyed that Beckett replaced him on 8 Out of 10 Cats and doesn't want to take part if Rob's involved. To celebrate the Richardsons' move to Hebden Bridge, Lucy stages a huge birthday party for daughter Elsie. Jon is against the party but is finally convinced to take part by a family friend: the all-round entertainer and comedy legend Bernie Clifton.
