Alan has two big problems. Firstly he is being inspected by the Inland Revenue. Secondly, girlfriend Sonja has been going a bit mad with the gift giving. She keeps buying Alan Beefeater Bears, toy London cabs, toy buses, even a Marble Arch cake. On the upside, Sonja makes a pretty good full English breakfast (beans a bit close to the egg but otherwise superb).

Things go really bad when Sonja insists on meeting Alan's 'old friend' Bono from U2. Lynn improvises. Using her late mother's cataract glasses and a friend from her Baptist church, she manages to rustle up an almost convincing Bono Vox. Sadly Sonja isn't fooled.

In this episode we also find Alan close to a decision on naming his new house.
