The Meldrews and Mrs Warboys embark upon a hellish holiday to Portugal. After an entanglement with the police, they finally arrive at their unpleasant villa. Mrs Warboys finds love with her Portuguese penpal Alfonso (Edward de Souza), donkeys follow Victor around, a paparazzo (Peter Cook) pursues the group trying to retrieve some lucrative snaps and a boxer (Eamonn Walker) tries to find his inner anger...which becomes much easier thanks to Victor's misadventures.

A meeting of Victor's conjuring group ends in chaos when one of the tricks goes horribly wrong.

Victor is summoned for jury service and ends up as the man on trial.

The Meldrews return home from a horror-filled holiday in the sun, only to face a series of disasters which almost sends Margaret over the edge. Deciding she can take no more, she embarks on a reckless adventure.

A day out on the river leads Victor and Margaret into very sinister murky waters.

When Margaret collapses from exhaustion, Victor patiently nurses her back into a gibbering nervous wreck.

The hole being dug at the bottom of Victor's back garden becomes a tunnel to hell.
