Romany Jones

For Betty Jones, life as a newlywed isn't all what husband Bert had promised. Rather than a respectable house with large open-plan kitchen, he's moved her into a pokey caravan at the bottom of an argumentative, mean farmer's spare field. She may love her work-shy husband, but this certainly isn't the marital bliss she had in mind!

The caravan opposite is occupied by the coarse, interfering, late-middle-aged couple Lily and Walter Briggs. Struggling to get by with both enjoying a similarly relaxed attitude to work as Bert, Lily makes regular visits to borrow this or that, ask a favour, or complain about something else!

Whilst Betty's constantly on edge, however, Lily does offer the odd bit of helpful advice from a much longer experience of married life...

When Bert and Betty move out, their caravan is rented to junior city worker Jeremy Crichton-Jones and his wife, Susan. Sick of living with his interfering mother, Susan's jumped at the first opportunity to leave - even if it means putting up with the squalor of the field, on her wet husband's meagre salary!
