Episode 1
Davina Jackson has hit 60, but she is showing little sign of her age. If anything, she’s won the prize – she still looks great and so does Al, her husband of over 30 years. In fact, having recently downsized from their family home, they have even got some spare cash to set up a new lifestyle, which includes a funky central London pad and a retro 70s Silver Shadow Rolls Royce, something they could never have afforded when it first came out.
But not everyone is happy. Their dysfunctional 33-year-old son Orlando wants them to return to the family home so he can reclaim his lost childhood, and their high-flying brother-in-law Roger preaches patronisingly about their lack of pension security.
Episode 2
A chance meeting with an old school friend prompts Davina to begin looking back on her childhood. And when her mother suffers another stroke, she literally returns to her old haunts where the ghostly appearance of her imaginary friend, G.I. Johnson, reminds her of a childhood when nothing could hold her back. She is left to wonder when she lost her way.Episode 3
Al is trying to write an article on what makes a classic. When world-famous author Robert Ringwald flies in from America to judge a book prize and sets his eyes on Davina, he tells Al to look no further because Davina is an absolute classic. And, being a man used to getting what he wants, Ringwald sets out to seduce her.Episode 4
