Press
Given the cracking cast - which includes Alison Steadman, Jason Watkins and Anne Reid - it is a shame that this comedy isn't funnier. Tonight, Edith (Steadman) is trying to book a holiday, while her son Roger (Watkins) gets a surprising offer from his wife that forces him to ponder the meaning of life.
