Plot summary
When Jo Green takes a nannying job in London to escape her small-town routine, complicated family and perfect-on-paper boyfriend, Shaun, culture shock doesn't even begin to describe it...
Dickand Vanessa Fitzgerald are the most compatible pair since Tom and Jerry, and their children - strong and determined Cassandra, humorously protective Zak, and sweet and shy Tallulah - are downright mystifying. Whilst also having Jo on a 24/7 schedule, chasing them around to their music or ballet lessons. Suddenly village life doesn't sound too bad.
Then, just as Jo's getting the hang of their designer lifestyle, the Fitzgeralds acquire a new lodger and suddenly she's sharing her nanny flat with the distractingly good-looking but inexplicably temperamental Josh. So when Shaun turns up,things get even trickier...
