They are engaged in a continuous game of one-upmanship, so both of them are shocked when they find out that their respective children (Smallbridge's daughter Lyn – played by Watson and later Kneale – and Peel's son David – played by Kermode and later Morris) are in love and want to marry as soon as possible. The fathers are forced to reluctantly accept the relationship and marriage, which takes place at the end of the first series. </p><p>It is the impending marriage of Lyn and David and the early days of their marriage, alongside Oliver and Simon battling over the affection of middle-class widow Veronica Barton (played by Blackman), that provides the basis for the first two series (both written entirely by Mortimer). The third series features a failed attempt by Simon and Oliver to try to renew their business partnership. </p><p>After the third series, Lyn and David move to <a href="/wiki/Vancouver" title="Vancouver">Vancouver</a> in Canada, leaving the daily goings-on at Simon and Oliver's shops and in their private lives as the main themes of the show. Other notable characters in the series are Simon's butler Banks (played by Turner), a replacement for a foreign <a href="/wiki/Au_pair" title="Au pair">au pair</a> that Simon had requested; Ringo (played by Deadman), Oliver's idiotic assistant in his shop; and Mrs. Sadler (played by Charles), Oliver's clumsy cleaner, who has an annoying tendency to accidentally break things. Banks and Mrs. Sadler's amorous relationship provides humorous material in these series, with both of them marrying and leaving the show at the end of the seventh series. The fourth to seventh series were written by a group of writers, Powell and <i><a href="/wiki/Me_and_My_Girl_(TV_series)" title="Me and My Girl (TV series)">Me and My Girl</a></i> co-creator Kane being the most prominent. </p><p>In the eighth series (mostly written again by Mortimer), Lyn and David return from Canada with their son (and Oliver's and Simon's grandson) Martin, who provides a new platform on which Simon and Oliver can develop their long-standing rivalry, fighting over who is the better grandfather. However, at the end of that series, Lyn, David, and Martin move to a new flat in <a href="/wiki/Friern_Barnet" title="Friern Barnet">Friern Barnet</a>. </p><p>Simon and Oliver's daily personal and business lives are the primary focus of the final three series (all written in their entirety by Powell). In these series, another character (who had already made two appearances in series 4 and 7) begins to appear regularly: Simon's Aunt Eleanor (played by Nutley, who had also appeared in Vince Powell's earlier sitcom <i><a href="/wiki/Mind_Your_Language" title="Mind Your Language">Mind Your Language</a></i>), moves near Oliver and Simon. </p><p>Also, appearing in some episodes of the series were Donald Sinden's sons <a href="/wiki/Marc_Sinden" title="Marc Sinden">Marc</a> and <a href="/wiki/Jeremy_Sinden" title="Jeremy Sinden">Jeremy</a>, while his wife Diana appeared in the last-ever
