Writer/Producer: Simon Carlyle, Gregor Sharp

Synopsis: The show looks at a distinctive group of Scottish families and friends, all of whom stand ready to support each other through life’s highs and lows. This could seem like a blessing but it’s usually more of a curse. This network of friends, families and neighbors always seem to loom too large in each other’s lives. Toes are trodden on, boundaries are crossed and some fiery tempers inevitably fray. Series eight picks up exactly where the 2025 Christmas special left us. Beth (Arabella Weir) and Eric (Alex Norton) are still clinging to the hope of a quiet life, but their best efforts are no match for the relentless chaos supplied by neighbors Colin (Jonathan Watson), Cathy (Doon Mackichan) and Christine (Elaine C Smith). Meanwhile, Michelle (Joy McAvoy) is preparing for the new arrival, while Gordon (Kieran Hodgson) throws himself into further education. Alan (Graeme Stevely) and Ian (Jamie Quinn) return too, doing their level best to support their partners —with mixed results.
