Alex and Roy are back for the fifth time round with a series of stories in which the cantankerous pals harass their long-suffering families, negotiate various adult rituals, and repeatedly fall out with each other over trifles. The thirteen episodes are very loosely bound together by the theme of Roy's desire to own a pet dog. Simply told and gently entertaining stories for younger reades who like their fiction mild.
