A look at four seasons in the lives of a happily married couple and their relationships with their family and friends.
Tom: I seem to remember you got banned from a number of pubs in Hull for shouting about nothing when you were a young person. Ken: [retelling the event] "Ken, we like you. You're a good bloke, you're good on the darts, but if you talk about politics again, you're barred!". [both burst into laughter]
Katie: I went to a college in Croydon. Mary: [in an intimidating manner] Which College in Croydon? Katie: [responding awkwardly] ... The Croydon College. Tom: The aptly named!
Mary: You can't go around with a big sign saying don't fall in love with me I'm married. Tom: Well, most people wear a ring. Mary: Well he didn't.
Mary: I'm very much a glass-half-full kind of girl. But it's tricky, because... I meet these older men who want somebody younger, and that's great, because I fit the bill. But... when they find out that... you know, I'm not as young as they thought, they don't want to know. My looks work against me.
Mary: But he wasn't a bad person. He loved me. Tom: Sounds to me that he was a duplicitous shit.
Gerri: Life's not always kind, is it? Mary: No, it isn't Gerri.
Tom: Alright, I dig holes. Katie: That's just calling a spade a spade, isn't it ? Gerri: I always call it a shovel. Tom: You call it a fork. I call it a trailer-mounted tripod cable percussive boring unit. Gerri: That's why I love him.
Ken: Young people, young people. Everything's for young people. Those bars, you know, they're full of young people shouting about nothing.
Mary: On a scale of one to ten, how happy would you say you are, Janet? Janet: One. Mary: One. I think there's room for improvement there, don't you?
Gerri: What is the one thing that will improve your life apart from sleeping? Janet: Different life.
[first lines] Tanya: So how long's this been going on for? Janet: I don't know. Tanya: A few weeks? Janet: A long time. Tanya: A year? Janet: I Suppose so. Tanya: A whole year? You've taken your time to come and see me, haven't you?
