Tony, (Tim McInnerny) eager to establish his Englishness, is gratified to learn from a genealogist from Burton-on-the-Water that he is, in fact, descended from Merlin.

Having completed his rehabilitation course following accusations of sexism and cruelty to his employees, Tony has returned to Martha's sessions a new man. Women and foreigners are no longer the object of his irritation - it's now vegans refusing to eat avocado on toast (as everyone knows they are supposed to) who have begun to get under his skin.
