On a school bush excursion, Fergus gets closer to Sophie while Lambert shows his true colours in helping Angela at her time of need. At home Dad announces he is taking the family interstate where new prospects beckon.
This comedy series features teenager Fergus McPhail (and his irrationally optimistic alter-ego), stumbling from crisis to crisis mostly of their own making. The stories cover a year in his life, showcasing Fergus at home with his erratic family, at school among friends, at play and sometimes, having a win in the steeplechase of adolescence.
