Football's Coming Home:
Axed from England, Newcastle, Norwich and Colchester in quick succession - Mike Bassett heeds the call to manage his boyhood club, Wirral County. After persuading his wife Karine to forego a sun-kissed retirement on the Costa del Sol, Bassett gears up for a final shot at glory in Ellesmere Port.

Going Dutch:
Two months into a woeful season and the fans want Bassett's head. In a desperate attempt to turn things round, Bassett plumps for a loan signing from Ajax (the football team, not the scouring powder people). Can Dutch wunderkind, Ronnie Van Needlemans save his beloved club?

Flat Pack Four:
It's a black Christmas for Bassett, with Wirral County firmly rooted to the bottom of the table. His problems are compounded by a striker with a severe mental block and a Chief Executive who plans to sell the ground and convert it into a giant furniture superstore.

Return of the Paralytic Son:
With Wirral County's abysmal form running unabated the fans turn on their manager, demanding either points in the bag or Bassett's head. But could the emergence of former England golden boy and reformed alcoholic Kevin "Tonka" Tonkinson be the answer to Bassett's prayers?

Seven Brothers for Seven Brothers:
Following a glorious winning streak, footballing genius and reformed alcoholic 'Tonka' has lifted Wirral County out of the relegation zone. But now Tonka is due on his best mate's stag night. Can Bassett stop him falling off the wagon and attend his son's musical showcase - all at the same time?

Abide With Me:
It's two months since Bassett's wife Karine has left and his world has fallen apart. With one game to go, Wirral County teeter on the brink of relegation. Can Bassett stop his marriage and his club from going under?
