Young couple Bernard and Susan wander off together on a small vacation, the pair each have learning difficulties, and end up in the same place, a farm where a son has caused the death of his unpleasant, aged mother.
I've always remembered this one vividly, specifically for just how sad it is, it is an intensely sad story, the poor young couple in the hands of someone so devious. At least we get a sweet ending.
The Mayor and Mayoress add welcome relief, both are humorous. The old lady in the chair does flinch a bit, must have been tough staying that still.
I had several family breaks as a kid in Lancashire, it was a lot more luxurious than this.
