The Glory Is Gone

Hanna and Tom are having a cosy evening in, but Tom is not happy: It’s fallen to him to do the dishes again. He thinks he’s doing altogether too much in the house and for the kids, and feels like less of a man as a result. It's not what Hanna wants either, but she’s busy with the new baby...

Tom and Hanna invite Toby by for dinner, and Tom is horrified to discover that his friend has stopped drinking alcohol. He struggles to understand the drastic move until Toby shows him his new app and Tom takes a test. He decides that it can’t be that hard to go two months without booze...

Grey hair is part and parcel of getting older, so why dye it to look younger? Although Hanna is perfectly happy to have a silver fox husband, Tom worries about losing respect at the office. Questions arise when their friend Ralph reveals he’s been dying his hair for years: Why should the rules be different for women and men? And how best to home-dye your hair?

After decades together, it’s time to say goodbye: Hanna and Tom are having a clear-out. But Tom is finding it difficult to part with his things. Everything has emotional value, from his old broken skateboard to a tiny pebble. Hanna worries that Tom is on the road to becoming to hoarder — and then she finds her wedding dress.

Judy and Andrew have had a revelation: They no longer live together. And not because they’ve split up, but because it’s more romantic that way. They try to persuade Tom and Hanna that living and sleeping apart is the way to go, but Tom has a different, controversial suggestion for how to spice up their marriage.
