Further details
It's Carol and Trevor's fortieth wedding anniversary. Joyce has organised a celebratory lunch at an upmarket gastro pub. Her carefully-laid plans are thrown when Maureen turns up with her mum Joan, who, like Dr Jekyll, is very nice until she's had a drink.
Then Carol announces she has made a decision that could ruin not just this anniversary but every one to come - unless Joyce and Maureen can change her mind in time.
