- Laura Derbyshire is a brilliant sixth form student, a trophy daughter to Janet and Alan who - though she gets straight A's ensuring university acceptance - ground her from going to a party. She escapes through a window and, at the party, gets drunk, ending up in bed with schoolboy Jamie Prince, who leaves whilst she is still asleep, leaving his phone number on a sheet of paper. Jamie's stupid friend Michael is envious but six weeks later numerous home pregnancy testing kits prove positive for Laura, who rings Jamie. They meet up in a cafe where she tells him her news and is shocked to learn that he is only sixteen.
- Jamie comes to the conclusion that he should propose to Laura, which gains Mike's approval - but not Beth's.
- Janet tells her daughter that she is being unrealistic about single parenthood but Laura still heads for her place at Edinburgh University where her friend Danielle explains her morning sickness as a symptom of her alcoholism. Jamie follows to the annoyance of Beth, who is carrying a torch for him. He returns home, to be confronted by Laura and an X-ray picture of their unborn child.
- After a humiliating session at the ante-natal class Laura and Jamie witness another disaster as her parents throw a dinner party for his family. A tearful Sandra gets drunk and Alan's attempts to calm her lead to Janet suspecting him of infidelity and accidentally stabbing him in the foot with a fork. As a result Laura moves in with Jamie and his parents. Michael is not pleased when mischievous Beth leads her friends to believe he is gay though he ultimately becomes a gay hero during a stand-off with a homophobic heckler. His reward, however, is a night of passion with the adoring Aaron.
- After Laura has been with the Princes for eight weeks Sandra appreciates her obsessive cleaning but Keith is fed up with her hogging the bathroom and Jamie is tired of sleeping on the sofa. Beth is unashamedly direct as ever, telling Laura what she thinks though Janet and Alan are happy for her to stay as it allows them to take a weekend break. On return they feel their hotel stay has saved their marriage and Laura goes back to them though not before mistakenly believing she was going into labour after hitting Michael.
- Janet and Alan have never felt more united or friskier, with an outdoor sex session landing Alan in hospital. Sandra, on the other hand, is extremely angry to find that Keith has taken her to the Lake District, not for a romantic break, but to tell her he has been made redundant. Michael, meanwhile, is pretending to do a charity run for Mumbai orphans when he is really planning to spend the money collected on a prostitute but Beth rumbles him, making him dress as a chicken for the run and taking the money from him when he is too exhausted to get to the prostitute. Jamie takes Laura shopping but ends up delivering the baby in a car park when her water breaks. At least Sandra is impressed by her husband's response when Jamie rings for advice but the future looks uncertain for everybody, not least the teen-aged parents.
- Struggling to cope with their baby daughter Laura and Jamie are dreading the christening. So are Sandra and Keith, who are paying for it, and Janet, who feels it will shame the family. Michael is due to be godfather, getting shtick from Beth about his religious responsibilities. Sandra's loud sister arrives with her handsome trainee priest son Conall, as does Janet's domineering father, with his girls. All offer unwanted childcare advice. Laura and Jamie take the baby to discuss baptism with the local priest but are put off by a couple of religious maniacs whilst Michael, trying to become more Christian, allows his new-found fervour to lose him a sexual encounter. Keith starts work under Jamie at the toy shop but gets sacked after a day though Janet goes behind Alan's back to steal his job. On the eve of the christening Laura and Jamie take their friends to a medieval banquet and fall out over the baby's name. Come the big day Laura fails to show at the church but Jamie persuades her to stand proud in front of their relatives - whom he soundly tells off before he and Laura make an exit with their baby - Emily.
- Anxious to belong, Laura takes Emily to the park but gets mugged by the chav mothers. She appears to make a new friend in working mother Liz but ends up baby-sitting for her. Beth gets into a political argument in a cafe with vain, handsome toff Jolyon and they go on a date but his love of fox-hunting precludes any sex. His car repossessed, Keith becomes driver for Alan and after they have outwitted two yobs out to fleece them in a pub snooker game they become very good friends. Sadly he has told Sandra he works for a parcels firm and she is not pleased to see him and Alan eating ice cream together.
- Laura is going for a day's work experience at Janet's firm so Jamie offers to have Emily though he has forgotten he has an exam on that day so entrusts his baby to Beth and Michael, who clash over child welfare and end up leaving Emily with Alan. Picked on by the patronizing Fiona Laura rings Jamie to bring Emily to her, causing him to leave the exam halfway through. However Fiona tumbles to the fact that Laura has a child and lets her leave work early. Fortunately Jamie sprints back to Alan's in time to have appeared with Emily all day. Keith meanwhile gets a job on a gay sex chat-line, where he does surprisingly well.
- Michael organizes Jamie's eighteenth birthday party, collecting what he believes to be magic mushrooms to make the night go with a swing. In fact Beth has made sure they are harmless mushrooms but Michael still gets high on them.

- Laura and Jamie decide that they are now officially a couple though she is reluctant to go public so, encouraged by Sandra, Jamie decides to tell Alan and Janet. They are attending marriage guidance though the fact that Janet phones in her contributions does not bode well for the sessions. Jamie asks Laura round for a romantic evening after his parents have gone out - though it comes to nothing, much like the Derbyshire's weekend in Paris, which Janet uses to tell her husband she has a job in New York.

Beth, meanwhile, annoyed not to have got the straight A's she was expecting ends up in the sack with Michael.
