Season 2 - Episode Guide

Mary has left Trevor and the house is a mess. Trevor engages a cleaning woman, but Howard thinks she's Trevor's girlfriend and scares her into leaving.

Howard starts the HB Matrimonial Agency, but the first (and only) two clients are dissatisfied with his bumbling efforts and demand their money back.

Laura's house is burgled and her jewellery stolen. The police suspect it's the work of a known thief, nicknamed ‘Raffles', but Howard's criminal record causes them to suspect him instead. Howard discovers Raffles breaking into Trevor's house, but realises it's really ‘Greasy', who he shared a cell with in prison.

Howard is still smitten with Laura, but she isn't as gullible as he supposes and resists his advances. To compound her resistance, she acquires ‘Sabre', a German Shepherd Dog, who takes Howard's presence as a threat.

Howard and Laura believe that Mary is seeing another man, but it turns out that he's only trying to sell her insurance. But then Laura falls for him – or does she?

Howard meets ‘Softly' Simpson, a painter and forger he knew in prison, and persuades him to paint Trevor. But the painting looks more like the portrait of the Duke of Wellington on a five pound note (withdrawn in 1991) than Trevor.

Mary sues Trevor for divorce. Laura is attracted to Trevor, but Howard sets him up with Gloria, Trevor's secretary, who is already engaged. They all meet at a social function where Trevor is due to speak, and it's a disaster. Mary phones to ask to see Trevor, and he hopes for reconciliation, but the situation is left unresolved.
