Close to the Edge

Businesswoman Babs plans a networking event, but her outspoken ‘frenemy ’Chris threatens to derail it. Meanwhile, John is on the hunt for a lady after spending the last six years alone.

Vanessa hosts a dinner party, but her past catches up with her. John takes Dee on a date she won’t forget, while Simon and Monty strike up a friendship over music.

Babs's dislike of Vanessa leads to her meeting the UKIP candidate for Bournemouth to complain. This in turn leads to an ugly confrontation between Babs and Vanessa at John's comedy gig. Simon surprises Monty at a life drawing class.

Vanessa's run-in with Babs last week jeopardises her friendship with Chris. Babs needs some help on a big pitch with Kiddicare, so turns to Chris for help. Katie invites friends and family to her 'living funeral.'.

Babs's best friend Gloria returns from holiday in Australia. With the help of Chris, they both help Babs try to sell her Babylog boxes at Dorchester Market and, as a thank you, Babs throws a dinner party for them both. Across town, Vanessa persuades Dee to go blindfold dating, whilst Beate considers a carer for her husband.
