Synopsis:
Maggie Beare is in the early stages of dementia
and her younger son Arthur reluctantly lives
with her. Despite being increasingly forgetful,
Maggie is lucid enough to strategically
manipulate Arthur, usually for something
outlandish and inconvenient.
Their family is dysfunctional and Arthur’s
budding love life is ‘on the rocks’ before he gets
to hand holding.
Written by the series writer, Geoffrey Atherden,
it is a poignant tribute to older people. It is also
about dependence, love, family, and being
driven up the wall by someone you love, but
never outsmart!
