Series 6

When Samantha's friend Roz comes to stay over at the Harraps', she gives Simon a very passionate goodnight kiss and Isobel walks in on them. She sees Simon as a seducer and almost quits until Samantha explains that Roz kisses older men for a bet.

Samantha is doing her French 'O' Levels and when Jean-Pierre, a very handsome Frenchman and a friend of Simon's, comes to stay, she's keen to learn as much as she can from him – and not just in the academic sense!

A party to celebrate 21 years of Eyecatchers is almost jeopardised when Simon finds a letter which leads him to erroneously believe that Derek is applying for another job.

Eyecatchers is to promote a breakfast cereal called Nyum Nyums which Derek finds repulsive. The contract is to be signed at a wine bar but the clients want to meet Derek and Simon with their wives so Liz and Isobel play the parts. Simultaneously, Samantha discovers that a boy called Sean, who she thought was dating her, is two-timing her.

Samantha is seeing a new beau, Charlie, and feels sorry for her father's loneliness. When she runs into Hugo, she angles to match Simon with Lyn but only finds herself falling for Hugo and dumps Charlie. Hugo, however, has moved on.

Simon seems strangely unconcerned when Samantha tells him that her exam results were excellent and Derek admits to losing a large sum of money – later found – from company accounts. Isobel takes advantage of his distracted state of mind to get him to authorise her ordering a new kitchen.

Simon and Liz go into the office for Saturday overtime and encounter two burglars plotting to rob the shop below. Derek and new side-piece Harriet turn up, as do Samantha and Isobel, and the burglars hold them all captive.
