An Actor's Life For Me: Series 1, Episode 3 - Fathers And Sons - British Comedy Guide (original) (raw)
Sue has booked a holiday in Greece but Robert, buoyed by his recent success on the fringe circuit, is reluctant to go in case he loses a part while he is away. In a complicated piece of subterfuge, Robert arranges to go to the funeral of a fictional "real" father that occurs during the holiday. As usual, nothing goes to plan!
