Second Thoughts - Season 1 (1991)

Bill is moving in with Faith and he wants to take her out to celebrate but she has her Keep Fit class and wants to cook Joe a meal so declines the offer. Bill arrives home very late and very drunk and they argue when he accuses Faith of not being spontaneous. However, when he rings her from work claiming to be in Paris and asking her to jump on the next plane to join him she calls his bluff.

Bill is off work with food poisoning though Faith is not a very sympathetic nurse. To make matters worse he gets a call from the office to tell him that Liza has started work there as an interior decorator. To keep the two women apart Bill suggests to Faith that she gets another job elsewhere - which she does, with better conditions and pay. She also goes down with food poisoning.

When Bill complains that Hannah and Joe are borrowing his belongings without asking Faith is not sympathetic, pointing out that he is now part of a family, where such happenings are the norm. But when Hannah comes in very late with a boy when she has school next day Bill believes Faith is taking the family ideal too far when she wants him to play the heavy stepfather.

Bill and Faith decide on impulse to have a secret wedding on a special licence but word gets out and their relatives all turn up. Unfortunately the wedding cannot go ahead as Liza had never applied for a decree absolute and therefore Bill has nothing to prove that he is not still married to her. The couple decide to have the reception anyway and to' honeymoon' at home having sent the children to their father in America.
