Bedtime

Returning home from work, Paul must face a cranky baby and an equally cranky Sarah, who fears that they have not been communicating effectively ever since the birth of their baby. Next door, the subjects of Andrew's complaints range from Jeremy Paxman to the house sitter next door, and no amount of pleading from his wife Alice will calm him down. Meanwhile, in the third house of the terrace, Sapphire and Gulliver talk about life and their TV careers (Gulliver the host of a gardening show and Sapphire an extra on shows such as Silent Witness).

Paul and Sarah are exhausted parents raising their newborn son, and Alice and Andrew are retirees trying to enjoy some peace and quiet, which is hard to do while surrounded by their noisy neighbors.
