Not much has changed about Marsha Klein, the beloved matriarch of 23 Meteor Street. Never bereft of a Lambert and Butler and a glass of red, she presides over her tenants like a doting parent, while her real daughter wreaks havoc in the rooms above. Obviously the mother role doesn't extend to Brian, as only a few months ago they were locked in a bizarre marriage of sexual convenience. Housing benefit and the arrival of Twist has put paid to that, much to Marsha's narrow-eyed chagrin. Perhaps most importantly, Marsha is still blissfully unaware that Daisy and Tim, the professional couple downstairs are no such thing. The most recent arrivals at Chez Klein are in fact leading Marsha on in order to secure the flat. But, as relationships grow closer and our heroes become careless, how long before Marsha discovers the truth and it all goes to hell?

Club Name: er... she didn't go...
