<P> In one episode, Mr. and Mrs. Cooper separate temporarily, which upsets her greatly; however when Simon hears her about her crying he gets embarrassed and annoyed by her "blubbing". However, they reconcile by the end of the episode, and according to Will's narration, have noisy sex upstairs whilst the boys are in the front room . </P> <Ul> <Li> Played by Martin Trenaman </Li> <Li> 2008--2014 </Li> <Li> Alan is Simon's father . He constantly reminds Simon (and the other boys) of his sex life, often going into unwelcome, inappropriate, intimate detail of his sexual life both with and before his marriage to Pamela . While dropping the boys off at the airport he tells the boys that they are in for a great time stating "girls just seem to let themselves go a bit more abroad". Despite his sexual nature Alan is an ultimately caring parent and reasonable disciplinarian, but he is often described his son to' go mental' when he does something irresponsible or lets him down, i.e. going out to London at night and not attending the' Father - Son Golf Tournament' . </Li> </Ul> <Li> Played by Martin Trenaman </Li> <Li> 2008--2014 </Li>
