Sorry! - Season 1 (1981)

Meek, 41-year old librarian Timothy Lumsden still lives with his domineering mother and hen-pecked father. Having met the sweet Annette at his amateur dramatics group he arranges to go on a river-boat shuffle with her. However, his mother decides to sabotage the arrangement, leading to his going on the date dressed as a cat and ending up in the river.

Whilst playing the rear of a pantomime horse in 'Cinderella', Timothy is asked by Zac, the smooth casting director, to date his old girlfriend Vanessa as he now has a new lady friend in Poppy. Timothy is delighted but unfortunately Vanessa already has a boyfriend in the hulking Tiny Heseltine and when, on his father's advice, Timothy challenges Tiny to a duel, he actually has cause to thank his mother for her intervention.

Timothy is ordered to talk to the father of a boy who is bullying his godson at school.
