Plot
Lee (Lee Mack) is horrified when he hears that Lucy (Sally Bretton) is considering marriage to Pavlov (Aleksander Mikic), a political refugee from the old Eastern bloc who is a local mechanic, just so that he can stay in the country. He initially gets Tim, Geoffrey (Timothy West) and Wendy (Deborah Grant) on his side, but, as Lucy's family meet Pavlov and hear his tragic tales of life back home, they are each persuaded that he is a perfect match for Lucy. Lucy and Pavlov plan their wedding, but Lee visits the Home Office to discover the questions that they will ask when inspecting the couple. When he warns Lucy of the cryptic questions she will be asked, she has second thoughts about the wedding. Lee goes to visit Pavlov himself, and Pavlov realises that the idea is bad and agrees to return to his home country. However, Lee comes up with the idea for Barbara (Miranda Hart) to marry Pavlov instead, and the two drive off for their honeymoon in India.
