Series 1

E01 PE teacher Tony Mammoth is back from the dead with his old job back. He’s determined he’ll approach it the same way as in the 1970s, including parents' evening. Along the way, he finds out he has a lot more in common with a pupil’s mum than he thought.

E02 Reeling from some recent news that drops a bombshell on his life, Tony Mammoth tries to make up for lost time. But despite his best efforts, things don’t go to plan, and he and Theo end up in a fight with a stranger. Meanwhile, his boss, Lucy, has to fight off the local oddballs looking to donate to help her fertility treatment.

E03 Following the death of his old friend - and pub landlord - Barry, Mammoth decides it’s time to find someone special to spend the rest of his life with. He soon finds out that it’s hard to date in the modern world, so he has to quickly learn the contemporary dos and don’ts. He soon hits it off with someone but manages to blow it in pure Tony Mammoth style - dead rabbit and all.

Series 2

E01 Following a panic attack, Tony Mammoth (briefly) decides to get healthy. At the gym, he’s confronted by his nemesis, Terry Keane. His previous traumatic experience spurs him on to get revenge on Terry by signing up to a rival over-70s football team. With the help of Roger, he gets fighting fit to be ready for his day of destiny. Meanwhile, Mel decides to quit her job and follow her 'dream' - becoming a professional potter.

E02 Mammoth turns into the protective father figure when Mel goes on a date with a new man, Matthew. But he quickly starts to adore him – mainly on a whim. Whilst trying to develop the world’s strangest bromance, he takes his self-appointed role as head of PE very seriously, until the pressure gets too much. Meanwhile, Mel isn’t feeling it with Matthew, and Theo revels in his new bad-boy image.

E03 Tony Mammoth’s life is sweet until his boss and headteacher Mr Cowley is signed off from work with stress. With little sensitivity and thinking purely of maintaining his easy work life, he does whatever it takes to de-stress him and get rid of the younger, popular and eminently more professional temporary headteacher. Meanwhile, Mel arranges a big 18th-birthday party for Theo, who desperately wants his mum to stop treating him like a four-year-old.
