John, Myra's useless Baby Boomer son, is also really keen that his Mum moves stays in the home. There's just one problem: it's a care home for the over 80s. And Myra is 78 - and Debbie who runs the care home is an eagle-eyed stickler for the rules. But Myra's got a mission - to find love for Katie and a damned good long term hotel. And no-one is getting in her way!
