Eleanor's old snaps spark arguments with Sarah over the past. Stars Prunella Scales and Joan Sanderson. From February 1989.

"Look at this old dear - roses round her cottage door, a cosy smell of making cake wafting from her kitchen. I can imagine a lot of people buying that, putting it in a frame and claiming it as their own grandmother. Probably easier to cope with than the real thing".

Eleanor's family snaps spark arguments with daughter Sarah over the past...

Each is struggling to cope after the death of Sarah's GP husband, yet they never quite manage to see eye-to-eye.
