Ep 3. What's Up, Docklands?

The episode titled "What's Up, Docklands?" is the third episode of the fifth season of the British sitcom My Family. The show revolves around the Harper family and their everyday lives. The episode begins with the family going on a road trip to Docklands to attend a wedding. Susan, the matriarch of the family, is excited to attend the wedding as she believes it is the perfect opportunity to get her children – Janey, Michael, and Ben – to reconcile.

As the journey progresses, things go wrong. First, Ben gets into a fight with a truck driver at a service station. Then, they discover that they are late for the wedding and are not going to make it in time. However, Susan insists that they still attend the reception to show their support to the newlyweds.

When they arrive at the reception, they are greeted by an unexpected surprise – Roger, their former neighbor and Susan's old flame, is also in attendance. Susan is immediately smitten with Roger, much to the chagrin of her husband, Ben. Meanwhile, Janey and Michael find themselves in a competition to see who can hook up with the most attractive guest at the wedding.

The reception starts off well, but things quickly take a turn for the worse. The DJ is terrible, the food is bad, and the Harper family's attempts to entertain themselves only result in embarrassment. Michael's attempts to impress a woman by performing a stand-up comedy routine are met with silence, and Janey's attempts to flirt with men leads to her accidentally spilling wine on the bride's dress.

To make matters worse, Roger reveals that he is planning to marry his girlfriend – a fact that Susan finds hard to accept. Susan drunkenly gives a speech about how much Roger means to her, revealing her true feelings. This creates a scene, with Ben threatening to punch Roger if he does not leave Susan alone.

The episode ends with the family returning home, with Susan and Ben still at odds. However, they all agree that the wedding was a disaster and that they never want to go to Docklands again.

Overall, "What's Up, Docklands?" is a humorous episode that highlights the dysfunctional nature of the Harper family. It also explores themes of love, jealousy, and family dynamics.
