Vasaloppet
Married to his Swedish partner Linda, with two children to impress, Geoff is keen to embrace every Swedish rite of passage. A 90km ski-ing race may prove a step too far.
Geoff (Adam Riches) is enjoying the glory of Sweden in the snow. Out with the kids in the hills, he bumps unexpectedly into his nemesis Johan (Thomas Eriksson), an ex-boyfriend of Linda's, who issues a challenge Geoff can't turn down.
Meanwhile Linda (Sissela Benn) is struggling to deal with a difficult work/life balance and yearns for the days when she could lose herself in her beloved cross-country ski-ing. And little John (Harry Nicolaou) discovers the joys of being caught short in the snow.
Danny Robins' series is partly recorded on location in Sweden and features some of Sweden's best loved comedy actors.
