Rich Tea And Sympathy

A brand new comedy-drama from David Nobbs, author of
A Bit Of A Do among many other triumphs.
George Rudge (Dennis Quilley, unexpectedly funny for an actor usually associated with straight roles) is the widowed owner of a biscuit factory, pompous, set in his ways and lonely. He has three difficult teenagers and an aged father (Lionel Jeffries) who talks about nothing but sex. Julia Merrygrove (Patricia Hodge) is a divorcee with two difficult teenage children, a mother (Jean Alexander) who's obsessed with snooker and a prat of an ex-husband.
