A visit from the council sees Broadhill retirement home facing closure. Hannah, the home's manager, rallies together her troops - best mates Derek, Dougie and Kev - and together they set to work raising their own funds for the home. A visit from the Meadway animal rescue centre and an outburst from Dougie help to put smiles back on the residents' faces.

It's Derek's 50th birthday; what better way to celebrate than with a party at Broadhill retirement home? Derek knows exactly what he wants: JLS, Susan Boyle and Stacey Solomon for music, and vol-au-vents, sausage rolls and chicken Kiev for food. And there's a new addition to the staff: community service worker Vicky, who's convinced she looks like Victoria Beckham.

It's a day like no other at Broadhill retirement home... Derek is watching Dougie fix a table's wobbly leg until he finds a baby bird that's fallen from a tree. Derek, desperate to save the bird's life, rushes inside to announce the emergency and asks Hannah to call Rolf Harris or Bill Oddie. Later, Derek and some of the residents attend a jumble sale, and then it's date night for Tom and Hannah, but she's forgotten.

Derek decides to sell some of his autographs in order to raise money for the retirement home. But the shop that sells autographed photos isn't overly impressed by Derek's collection - mainly because he can't actually remember who the signatures belong to. An outing to the beach for some of the residents means a blissful afternoon in the sunshine, while Kev leaves his mark at the seaside by writing rude words on crabs with a pen. Retirement Home manager Hannah stays behind to welcome a new resident, Mrs Shaw, played by Laura June Hudson, whose daughter Rebecca, played by Susannah Wise, recognises Hannah from school. Rebecca's comments make Hannah wonder whether her life has really turned out as she intended.

Broadhill retirement home wants to host a cabaret show and Derek forms an entertainment committee to discuss plans for the evening. Kev wants to produce a play of the Duran Duran film script he wrote in '98 with the staff and residents cast as the band. A new community service worker called Deon, played by Doc Brown, joins the home. He's a keen rapper, but the elderly residents aren't exactly his usual audience. On show night Dougie is forced to join the other 'Duran Duran' band members on stage, while Deon makes a welcome appearance with a special heartfelt rap.

In the final episode of the series, Hannah has received a phone call from a man claiming to be Derek's estranged father; an alcoholic who abandoned him when he was very young. Derek and his mother never spoke about him because it upset her too much, and Derek still finds it hard and says he doesn't want to meet him. Meanwhile, a much-loved resident is in decline, which sets in motion a sequence of events culminating in the appearance of an unexpected visitor.

Derek is feeling pleased that his dad's moving in while Tom and Hannah are taking things to a complete new level. Dougie and Vicky have no time for new volunteer Geoff.

The are some job opportunities at Broadhill and Kev decides to improve his act. Vicky's taste in men concerns Hannah, while a visit from city boy Pete stirs things up for Derek.

Hannah and Tom have happy news, and Derek's dad Anthony goes on a date with Tom's nan. But matters of the heart are taking a downward turn for Kev who calls on his brother Cliff for help.

Derek and the Broad Hill gang go on a trip to London Zoo. It's Derek's best day ever, meeting giraffes, penguins, aardvarks, and in Vicky's case, the man of her dreams. Throughout all the fun Hannah is caught off guard and must deal with the unexpected.

The Meadway animal rescue centre comes to visit, and for Derek that means playing with Ivor. Kev exercises his artistic talents, winding up Hannah in the process, while Derek deals with sad news.

Derek goes on a date with a girl from a dating website. He's excited but worried about his dad's health. True to form Geoff nearly ruins things for Derek, but Kev stands up to him.
