Bing takes his first tentative steps as he attempts to overcome his gambling addiction, in the final episode of the comedy written by Craig Cash and Phil Mealey. George’s own problems appear to be getting worse but he keeps them to himself for fear of disrupting Bing’s progress.

Bernadette, meanwhile, begins to settle into her new life without Bing and is flattered by the attentions of an admirer.

Bing’s endeavours to woo back Bernadette fall on deaf ears, however. In the absence of a possible reconciliation with her he starts to question whether his attempts at recovery are worthwhile. George reassures Bing that he owes it to himself and his son, Joe, to continue.

Encouraged by his dad, Bing’s recovery continues to go from strength to strength and his relationship with Joe reaches a new level.
