Summary

Jim London (JIm Davidson) is an out of work 'Jack The Lad' from the East End of London.

One day, he learns that his Aunt Minnie has died and left him a Victorian terraced house in the Elephant And Castle area of South London.

Jim quickly finds that being a homeowner isn't always a bed of roses.

He's got a squatter upstairs and a bunch of rather dodgy neighbours.
