After Henry

- Season 2

(1989)

Sarah plans a traditional Christmas but finds that Russell isn't at all interested, and Eleanor has her own slightly-outdated take on "traditional."

Clare gets into an intellectual challenge with her "terribly brainy" new boyfriend, and Eleanor refuses to be left out of the contest.

When a man invites Sarah out to lunch, she must make contingency plans to prevent her mother's "Geriatric Mafia" from finding out about it.

It's quiz night and Clare and Eleanor are on opposing teams while Sarah seems to be having problems with the accuracy of her memory.

Sarah feels terrible but, in her family, she's last on the list of casualties allowed to be treated if other people feel ill as well.

Eleanor wants to have a family wedding because she has heard that Vera Polling is having one and that, of course, puts the pressure on Sarah and Clare.

Sarah and Eleanor have fallen out and seem to be irreconcilable, so Clare decides to use one of her old school games to alleviate the problem.

Sarah is accused of scandal-mongering after she inadvertently starts a rumour about the pension counter's sister.

Eleanor is heading for the Bridge Club dinner-dance with Vera Polling, so Sarah decides to invite Dr. Sam Greenland over for a quiet dinner.

Sarah, Eleanor and Clare are enlisted by the local amateur dramatic society when it suddenly loses its leading players.

Sarah wants the hall redecorated in time for her birthday party and Eleanor wants a new dress for that occasion--but there's only enough money for one or the other.

Eleanor is left in charge of the bookshop when Russell and Sarah go off for a special lunch. She initiates an efficiency drive, which goes badly wrong.

Sarah makes plans to escape to Portugal for two weeks with her glamorous friend Alison, but Eleanor drags out all her emotional-blackmailing skills to scupper the plans.
