Come Stay with Me

The outspoken care worker takes on her toughest job yet since coming to Britain, when her mum comes to stay.

Mrs Olonga is impressed by the UK's charity shops and her first ever butternut squash risotto but embarrasses her daughter with a headline-grabbing attack on elder care in the NHS.

Can Beauty cope with being overshadowed, overworked and overdrawn?

Beauty's adventures continue as the Featherdown Agency sends her to provide care for the elderly.

Her Zimbabwean Shona background has taught her to respect age. She sees Britain both at its best and worst.
