Partly-improvised sitcom looking at the trials and tribulations of bringing up three young children - a regal five-year-old girl with a talent for interrogation, a seven-year-old boy who could fib for Britain and an 11-year-old who is gearing up for his scary first day at secondary school.

Stuck in a traffic jam, Mum tries to keep the peace in a car containing three fractious kids, a new-age aunt and a bewildered grandfather. Meanwhile, Dad is waiting outside the Headmaster's office after an ill-judged joke involving obesity and Ramadan. Tempers rise as events climax in the living hell that is a gift shop.
