Dot buys Vicky a new car and comes close to driving her off a mental cliff. Sarah tries to give Jack advice on his interview technique as he attempts to find a new job at a newspaper away from Hebburn.
Hebburn is a warm and affectionate tale of north east family life. It tells the tale of the Pearson family and their impetuous and ambitious son, Jack, who has left Tyneside for the bright lights and glamour of Manchester. He has secretly married a middle class Jewish girl, Sarah, and realises that it is about time he introduced her to his family.
