Charlotte (Helen Monks) and Lillian (Miriam Margolyes) are back, continuing with a Befriend the Elderly scheme despite not liking each other much. Both are convinced they’re doing the other a favour - Charlotte by providing company for a lonely old lady, Lillian by filling gaps on the CV of a self-absorbed millennial.

Episode 4: The Jump
In the last episode of the series, self-absorbed Charlotte, ever keen to do good and feel good, signs up for a charity bungee jump - inadvertently discovering that her fear of death is far greater than Lillian's. An unexpected discovery in Lillian's house leads to them both contemplating life, death and the prospect of being forgotten.

Miriam Margolyes is one of the most recognisable actresses working today. This year, at the age of 80, she has told her life story, which is being published as a memoir.

Helen Monks is the Co-Artistic Director of Lung Theatre, and the co-host of Bitchin', a podcast with Tilly Steele. She plays Shakespeare's daughter Susanna in Upstart Crow, and the young Caitlin Moran in Raised by Wolves.
