Still very much in love, Martin Chadwick and his wife, Julie, are panicking as they find they are past their sell-by dates and being shunted aside by the next generation. Their 20-something children won't leave home and their ancient parents won't shuffle off the stage. They try drugs, therapy and new jobs, but Martin's unerring ability to screw up absolutely everything, combined with Julie's rampant neuroses, just add to the fear, the stress and the anger.
