A tight-fisted farmer's thrifty ways are questioned when his mother's friend returns home.

A tight-fisted farmer's thriftiness is questioned by his mother's friend. Stars Stephanie Cole and David Ryall. From April 2011.

We're in the rural part of deep Devon on a remote cattle farm. 79 yr old Patrick has always lived with his 103 year old mother Maisy in their humble farm house. Patrick, however, is as tight as they come and won't hear of spending money on anything but the essentials. 

All's going well until his Maisy's old school friend Susan returns home from London to retire and fills Maisy's head with all sorts of modern ideas. Will life be the same again or will Patrick still not allow curtains at the window?
