Heartbreak Hotel

The irrepressible Russell 'Buffy' Buffery has upped sticks from London and moved to Knockton, Powys, to a B&B inherited from an old flame. With his future spread before him, and a string of failed marriages behind him, Buffy decides it's time for a new challenge.

Meanwhile: Harold's wife has run off with a younger woman leaving him alone with his as yet unwritten novel narrated by Mary Pickford's cat; Amy's weedy boyfriend has turned out to be not so needy after all; and Andy's partner's corset-and-suspender-clad attempts at seduction are having anything but the desired effect.

They're all lost with nowhere to go, and feeling well past their sell-by-dates. So they decide to enrol on 'Courses for Divorces' in a sleepy rural town. Under Buffy's tutelage, they find themselves re-learning all those skills they never thought they'd need again, and a whole lot more besides ...
