Summary

Fitz (Matthew Kelly) is a carefree bachelor in his mid-thirties who works in a hardware shop owned by Percy Fisher (Bernard Gallagher).

Fitz is surprised when 17-year-old John (Mark Farmer) turns up, claiming to be the long-lost son he never knew he had.

It seems that Fitz had a one-night stand with a girl named Donna at Butlin's Holiday Camp back in 1966, and John was the result.

Now Donna has been killed in a road accident and her son has decided to seek out his father, Fitz.

This programme was a spinoff from Holding The Fort.
