Synopsis

George Radfern lives a quiet, uneventful life near London, burdened by sponging relatives and his prospective son-in-law.

When George quietly announces he's a leader of a counterfeit ring, the sponges find reasons to leave.

His immediate family reacts according to character until it looks as if George has been spoofing them.
