Mum

- Season 2

(2018)

The gentle but poignant sitcom returns to follow another year in the life of the widow, her family and friends. It is Cathy's 60th birthday and to celebrate the family are going out to lunch.

It is Easter Sunday and Cathy and Michael have plans to clear the front room together. Jason and Kelly have got other ideas.

Cathy is having a barbecue. Michael hasn't replied to her email and she wants to know why.

Kelly is more irritating than usual so Cathy is pleased that she and Jason are going on holiday. Michael, who has just learned his mother has died, nonetheless volunteers to drive them to the airport whilst the in-laws grudgingly agree to take delivery of a new washing machine as Cathy has to go to work. Michael tries to declare his feelings to Cathy but she feels it is just the grief talking and does not give the answer he wants.

Cathy cooks for an unappreciative Reg whilst Maureen is in hospital for an operation and Michael donates his mother's kitchen utensils to Cathy, to Pauline's disdain. Cathy and Michael make trite small talk as he considers moving to Spain but, after hearing good news from the hospital, they get to share a hug.

On Bonfire Night (Guy Fawkes Night), the family again gathers at Cathy's. Jason and Kelly are (finally!) moving out. Michael is getting a flat in Spain.
