Rab C. Nesbitt - Season 3 (1993)

With Mary in hospital for an operation Rab and Jamesie take Burney and Gash to Blackpool to take their minds off things. Predictably the mercenary boys prefer to spend the day with Mary's wealthy brother Shug and his wife, leaving Jamesie to lead Rab in the pursuit of two London girls. In Rab's case it is a poignant encounter, making him grateful for what he's got, the more so when he and the newly-discharged Mary meet the venomous old woman who was in the bed next to Mary.

Mary gets a cleaning job with the lecherous Mr Friel, who can't stop touching her. Fearing that she may dump him, Rab invests in 'Stay Hard' cream, a fact which Mary, already overwhelmed by sex mad men,is not in a position to appreciate. Fortunately Davina, the new barmaid and a pre-op transsexual, is on hand to put Mr Friel in his place.

Burney is considered to be a gifted painter and starts to attend special ability weekend classes. Whilst Mary is the proud mother Rab and Gash are both extremely jealous. Rab changes his tune when he is made to feel a 'somebody' after his son paints his portrait but before long Burney loses his muse and his inspiration.
