Synopsis

Gracious Lies, five rather unsettling tales that take a lingering peep behind the net curtains of everyday life, love and marriage.

Gerald and Angela ascend the Sixty-Six Steps to Mother for Christmas lunch. Will it be a case of like mother, like son? And will it be a step too far for the impeccably attired Angela? In Lemon, knife-sharp tensions erupt between Claire and husband Trevor, when his reminiscences and red wine are set to ruin a dinner party to impress her new boss. The New Mrs Barefoot is en route, but for faithful family retainer, Dobbo, life may never be the same as he discovers his employer’s new wife is not quite the heavenly creature he was expecting. While in Upper Rugless, a life of bucolic tranquillity and Victoria sponge is simply not as delightful as it promised to be – as high-spirited Jemima is about to find out. And in Hand, Foot & Finger, imperious Leonard Smail and his pale wife Audrey head once again to Aunty Lynne’s West Country guesthouse. Can Audrey endure another week of toil on the beautiful beaches of Weston-super-Mare?

Peel back the nets and enter, if you dare, the deliciously dark world of Hilda Lolly’s Gracious Lies…
