Ian is on his way to tell his family but Brian has decided he won’t be at the wedding.

Radio Times: Ian bites the bullet.

Characters: Adam, Brian, Ian, Jennifer, Joe, Lynda

• Brian is enjoying his birthday gifts but is still a little reticent about the wedding. Joe is selling his turkeys already but he’s very excited about Eddie and Clarrie’s anniversary party.
• Ian is very nervous about meeting his family to tell them about the wedding. He isn’t betting on them being on his side. Adam reminds him that Brian was a bit odd but at least they are still working together. Ian isn’t sure his Dad will ever want to see him again.
• Lynda is working on convincing Joe to melt his crusty old heart at the sight of Snow White dead before him but the scenery team aren’t helping the ambience. And Brian booking a taxi for a birthday meal doesn’t help. Especially when Joe starts bringing up wedding sayings – and will there just be one Best Man or two?
• Jennifer is thrilled to hear that Kate and Nollie are both coming over for the wedding but Brian is still very unconvinced. Jennifer tries to be understanding but Brian has had about enough. He won’t be at the wedding. He is sorry but there is no way he is going.
