Michael has a new friend, Tex, who likes all things American. Alan is jealous and cancels Michael's invitation to join Alan in watching all the James Bond films. Lynn's new boyfriend, Gordon, warns Alan about his behaviour towards Lynn.
It's a bank holiday weekend and Alan plans to watch all the James Bond films, enlisting Sonja to help organise a viewing schedule with military precision. Two new sources of consternation come in the form of Lynn's new boyfriend Gordon and Tex, Michael's new Americanophile friend. Alan dislikes the mere idea of Lynn having a boyfriend or Michael having another friends, but what's worse is Gordon is a retired policeman who won't stand for Alan's treatment of Lynn and Michael still has Alan's video of The Spy Who Loved Me.
