Charlotte (Helen Monks) and Lillian (Miriam Margolyes) are back, continuing 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.

Neither have seen much of anyone during lockdown. Lillian is as determined as ever to remain independent with Puzzles Weekly, the companionship of daytime TV and the occasional phone call. Charlotte, meanwhile, has been gaining ground as a social media influencer, sharing updates of her good deeds and bringing joy to just about everyone’s life. Apart from Lillian’s, of course.

Episode 1 00:00
THE BOOK

Lillian has joined a book group, though is having difficulty completing this month's selection. Charlotte suggests she rents the film instead, and agrees to accompany Lillian to their local library.

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.

Episode 2 27:47
THE DOG

As a way of winning over Mo, a local dog owner (Kiell Smith-Bynoe), Charlotte is desperate to prove her love of all things canine. She lures Lillian into borrowing a dog - and promptly discovers that they're inseparable.

Episode 3 55:46
THE CAR

Having discovered that Lillian still has her old car the garage, Charlotte takes advantage of some extra experience on the road - with Lillian as her instructor - in the run up to her (sixth) driving test.

Episode 4 1:24:11
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.
