In the hope of turning his life around, he lets out his spare rooms to four students. Bill is thrilled to meet his new housemates: Christian, Zahra, Hettie, and James. But when Christian keeps leaving the fridge door open, Bill has to come up with a scheme to get it shut without ruining his image as a relaxed, fun landlord. Bill's best mate, Drew, gives him the idea to deploy an anonymous suggestions box, but this backfires when the students' requests lead to the worst night's sleep of his life. Bill's neighbour and secret crush, Siobhan, suggests sending over her intimidating husband, Martin, to complain on Bill's behalf, but when this ruse is exposed, Bill fears the students will leave him, just like his wife did. He's grateful to learn that not only do they have nowhere else to live but they forgive him, since university is all about starting over. For better or worse, his new life truly has begun.Not rated yet
