When her parents go on holiday Lucy persuades Lee to help her tidy up after the builders in their new kitchen extension but within minutes Lee has ruined their artificial lawn. He manages to replace it and wipe the CCTV evidence but the plan is not foolproof - as he discovers.

Lee is a childish northerner who lives in a fancy penthouse apartment in London who goes through a variety of jobs such as a janitor and ice cream man, as well as attempting relationships with female flatmates. His best mate, Daily Mail reading, middle-class citizen Tim is always there to stop Lee from getting in trouble, or not? Mayhem is never far away with cleaner Barbara who has never done an honest day's work in her life.

The mishaps of slacker Lee, Lee's best mate Tim, Lee's long-suffering landlady and the love of Lee's life, Lucy, and Tim's well-meaning but dim-witted girlfriend Daisy.

Returning home from the cinema Lucy and Lee are mugged. Lucy feels Lee could have been more heroic so he joins a gym to learn boxing but in his first fight he is beaten by a little girl. He hopes to impress Lucy by doing a deal with the robbers but this does not work out. However his visit to the gym does - albeit in a roundabout way.

Lucy's elation at securing a business deal quickly evaporates when she accidentally runs over Button,the pet rabbit belonging to client Paul's daughter Sophie. Lee agrees to take the blame but on returning the corpse discovers it is another,wild rabbit she also killed. They decide to buy a replacement and go to a pet shop where they narrowly avoid meeting Paul and Sophie so that the contract looks as if it can be saved - until Lucy and Lee pay another visit to Paul.

Lee and, a heavily pregnant, Lucy are out doing some last-minute Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve when they get caught up in a robbery in a department store.

When Lee discovers that Tim is fronting rock band the Auditors he goes along to heckle but is surprised that they are good and Lee is jealous - particularly when guitarist Stretch hits it off with Lucy. He gets a job as the band's roadie but a meeting with Stretch's ex-girlfriend enables him to discover Stretch's real motives for his involvement, leading to Lee making his rock star debut and farewell performance at the same time.

With Lucy not pregnant and Barbara married to Pavel and out of the picture life should be simple but Tim ensures the opposite when he returns from a night-club wearing the wrong coat - with heroin in the pocket. He and Lee return the coat and its contents to the presumed rightful owner but they have just given free drugs to the wrong man and have to spend eight grand buying more to appease the real owner,a murderous butcher who is not pleased to find that the dealer has played a trick on him. Could Daisy be an unlikely saviour as the butcher gets serious with Tim and Lee?
