The Archer has been re-furbished (there's now a picture of John Barrowman behind the bar) but little else has changed for the Runcorn Five. Oh, except Donna is now working behind the bar, Louise is pregnant and, as Jonny has been eaten by a shark in Hawaii, Gaz is now forced to share his fantasies with Munch...

Jonny's death affects them all in different ways. Janet decides she must get through the five stages of grief quicker than Darren Day on a stage full of blondes, Louise find the answer to her accommodation problems and Gaz comes over all paternal. And, as Donna gets a career and Louise gets motherhood, will Janet and Gaz finally get each other?
