It's 1997. Adrian, 30, is a chef at an up-market restaurant, selling down-market food for ridiculous prices. There, the only person who seems to notice he can't cook is AA Gill. But problems abound when, in a fit of madness, he agrees to become a TV chef on the show Offally Good. Yet some things don't change. Adrian's still profoundly in love with Pandora, now an MP, his parents' marriage is in trouble, and Sharon Bott, spectre of the past, returns to haunt the traumatized Adrian, who has enough on his plate as it is.
