3. Marital Woes

Episode 3 of 5

Jim devotes the week to his novel, but realises he must also win back his wife. Can he do both? Stars Paul Ritter.

Jim has shunned work and a holiday in Crete to devote the week to creating his very own Ulysses.

Driven to despair, his wife Kath has shown him the door.

But unbeknown to her, the challenge of winning her back is just the sort of quest his novel was lacking.
