with Bernard Miles and Betty Marsden
Written by EDDIE MAGUIRE
Based on the Larkin family saga by H. E. BATES Part 3, taken from
The Darlino Buds of May
Pop and Ma Larkin have made their own rich, free life in the heart of the Kentish country-side. They have opted out of the system - until the tax man calls. To them a man who not only thinks taxes are justified but should actually be paid must be ill, so they set to and try to make him feel well again. Their way of life has so much more to offer.
The Tax Man Lingereth
