To obtain a major action role, Robert claims he can perform all sorts of athletic feats. Fortunately, he is a quick learner and almost gets away with it. Almost.

Fathers and Sons
Robert and Sue are planning a vacation to Greece, but duty calls when he gets a small part. Unsure of how to tell Sue that he needs to delay his vacation plans, he claims he is adopted and must attend his 'real' father's funeral.
E4 · Airs Dec 5, 1991 · 30m
May the Farce Be with You
Desmond and his wife are at the theatre to wish Robert good luck on his new part in a comedy, but the farce is acted in the dressing room when Desmond gets the wrong end of the stick after Robert explains the play.
E5 · Airs Dec 12, 1991 · 30m
Night of the Living Dead
Robert gets a part as a corpse. It should be easy; no lines to memorise. Unfortunately, nothing is easy when Robert is on stage.
E6 · Airs Dec 19, 1991 · 30m
Not Suitable for Parents
Robert has been cast in a sex comedy, but when Sue's straight-laced parents come to visit, he dares not have them see him in it. He suggests Sue take them to see 'The Importance of Being Earnest' instead. Bad decision.
