himself whilst keeping his spirits up.

Meanwhile, Carrie (Claire Rushbrook of Linda

discovers that she is adopted and decides to track down her real mother.

happy and in love with a boyfriend Barry hates - Adrian, her whirlwind
fiancΓ©, is also Barry's new tenant.

Barry's mate Kirk (Mark Williams of
The Fast Show, Harry
Potter) is still guaranteed to say the wrong thing and soon has the
