Press
A drizzle-drenched barbecue to celebrate news of a film adaptation of Dorien's book is cut short by an unexpected call from a homebound auntie south of the river. The lifts at her council high-rise are proving too much, leaving Sharon and Tracey with three unappetising options: play gofer for south London's most ungrateful pensioner; petition the council to relocate Auntie Vera closer to terra firma; or invite her to taste some of the Chigwell high life. Oh, won't someone think of the house prices?
