Merry Christmas and a happy New Year from the Harpers - except that Christmas does not look like being very merry for one little girl. And, whilst it may be a new year, Ben sees a chance to renew an old battle with his next-door neighbour.

Ben volunteers to look after one of Janey's elderly care clients for an evening; what could possibly go wrong?

The Harpers face a robbery and a simple case of mistaken identity, and are amazed at how quickly Ben can make new friends.

Ben goes clubbing with Michael but soon finds himself more than slightly out of his depth.

A young Australian backpacker catches Janey's eye, but is Ben's chip just on his shoulder or off the old block?

Ben forgets about Valentine's Day, but discovers that Susan has a more attentive admirer.

Michael's news comes as a bit of a shock to Ben, but Susan has more of a shock at Ben's reaction.

When the local council insists that Ben is disabled, what can he do but play along with it until the wheels start coming off?
