Description: Bruce, the intolerably vain and perpetually deluded ex-surveyor, is about to embark on a new career as a wine merchant, while his long-suffering flatmate Pat MacGregor finds herself invited to a nudist picnic in the pursuit of true love. Six-year-old prodigy Bertie Pollock wants a boy's life of fishing and rugby, not yoga and pink dungarees, so he plots rebellion against his bossy, crusading mother Irene and his psychotherapist. But when Bertie's longed-for trip to Glasgow with his ineffectual father ends in shady dealings, it looks like Bertie should have been more careful about what he wished for.
