I'm With Stupid by Danny Peak
Episode synopses
Episode One - Cards
Having stayed at Bramble Lodge for one night, Sheldon heads for the exit door but Paul has other plans. He’s found a friend and isn't about to let him go. He enlists Jean, the warden, and Sheldon becomes her special 'project'.
His reluctance disappears when she offers him £50 to do a few odd jobs around the place. And she goes one further: with the help of local copper Sergeant Swithenback, she decides Sheldon would make an excellent Special Constable. The training regime begins.
Gambling is against the rules at Bramble Lodge. Syd plans a poker game, although Dorothy is not invited to play because she always wins. Instead she holds Graham's cards and strangely enough, he seems to be on a winning streak.
Having stolen Sheldon's £50, and lost it at poker, Paul plans to expose the game to Jean in order to get out a tricky situation.
Episode Two – Birds
Dorothy fancies Bobby, the hairdresser who visits the lodge. Although the other residents think he's gay, Dorothy is convinced he's "just outgoing!"
Meanwhile Paul seems to have a soft spot for the local policewoman, PC Sarah Madden.
Sheldon decides to set Paul up on a blind date, although he doesn't reveal to Paul who his date is with.
Swithenback is still trying to gain Jean's affection and gives her a spa voucher to treat herself. Paul spots the voucher lying on the table, steals it and treats himself to a tan!
Syd claims he has been attacked by a goose, although the other residents of Bramble Lodge are sceptical about whether the goose exists.
Sheldon has promised to cook a meal for Paul's blind date.
He decides that if he kills Syd's goose, he could use it in a curry and
kill two birds with one stone!
Episode Three – Games
Sheldon is still sleeping on Paul's sofa and is keeping Paul awake with his snoring. Sheldon decides that Paul needs to relax to help him sleep and hatches a plan for his old friend Alison, a prostitute, to visit Bramble Lodge.
When Paul finds out that Sheldon has arranged for a prostitute to sleep with him, he's horrified and refuses to have anything to do with Alison.
Alison is playing chess in the common room with Graham but, when the other male residents get wind of why she's there, there is an "I'm Spartacus" moment
as they all claim to be Paul.
Jean finds out what is going on and is furious so Paul concocts a story to get
them all off the hook.
Meanwhile, Swithenback continues to find excuses to spend time at Bramble Lodge
and be with Jean.
