Spending My Inheritance
Kris Marshall stars as a broke forty-something, watching his newly retired parents spend their hard-earned cash...
What are cash-strapped 40-somethings like Harry supposed to do when they see their cash-rich, equity-released parents spending all their inheritance? It doesn't help that Harry's rich brother seems to upstage him at every turn as he tries to make ends meet and support his family. As their father's 65th birthday approaches, and the money starts disappearing, Harry decides to see if he can 'help' them to change course...
Chortle out loud at this utterly relatable family comedy as Harry's parents discover a love of online shopping - with all their spending on exercise machines and looking after themselves, his parents seem in better shape than he is! When Harry tries to steer his parents towards charity work instead of spending money, the consequences are farcical. Harry tries to find out if his mum and dad have made a will, tries to avoid a holiday he knows he has to go on and when a water pipe bursts it means Harry and his wife need a place to stay for the night...
