In lockdown, Nicola King (Nicola Wheeler) is finding life totally dull. Though she's still busy-ish with her local council work something's just not sitting right with the flat married mum who's usually the feistiest woman in the village.

While her husband Jimmy (Nick Miles) bumbles along as normal, he can't help but notice his wife's lacklustre mood, and he's constantly getting it in the neck.
