Episode 1 of 4

Tim is back and has enrolled himself on a uni course - not that he has any intention of going. But a student visa means he can stay in the UK and wreak more havoc.

Having narrowly escaped deportation to the USA, Tim has found himself a loophole and landed a place on a postgraduate course in London. Not that he has any real intention of going, or learning anything, but a student visa means that he can stay in Britain, where he intends to wreak more havoc alongside the world’s laziest carer Ruth and mild-mannered friend Idris. Having failed to find anywhere suitable to live, Idris encourages Tim to attend college to apply for assisted disability housing. There, Tim bumps into liberal activist student Bobbiey, who is desperate to be Tim’s friend and add another β€˜minority’ member to her gang. But while Tim gets sidetracked winding Bobbiey up, he neglects to sign up for any accessible housing, meaning that he and Ruth will be staying with a deflated Idris on a more permanent basis.
