Synopsis:

Winner of multiple Logie Awards, Australia's favourite 80s TV comedy is back! Delivering an hilariously sharp-edged and much lauded performance, Ruth Cracknell stars as Maggie - the very eccentric mother of divorced Arthur (Gary McDonald). Torn between his social conscience that dictates he should look after his mother in her old age and his need to lead a normal existence whilst still in the prime of his life, Arthur tries to accommodate his mother's constant demands for affection and attention. Vague but vicious and more arsenic than old lace, Maggie would have the beleaguered Arthur tied to her apron strings, if she could just remember where she put the apron.

Arthur Beare is a 40 something son still living at home taking care of his senile mother Maggie. However no matter what he does he cannot seem to get ahead and is always coming unstuck, where Robert cannot put a foot wrong in his mothers eyes, where all he is after is his mothers hidden money.
