Time to Celebrate
As Tom phones home, we learn why he hates celebrations and why his mum can't stop organising them. With Judy Parfitt. From 2013.
Tom Wrigglesworth phones home for his weekly check-in with his Mum, Dad and Gran.
This gives us a fascinating and hilarious glimpse into his background and influences shaping his temperament, opinions and hang-ups.
During his first call, we discover why he hates celebrations, why his mum can't stop organising them and why his father needs an electric whisk…
As the conversation unfolds, Tom takes time out to explain the situation, his parent's reactions plus anecdotes from the past illustrating his family's views.
So get underneath the skin of Tom and the Wrigglesworth family in a 30 minute totally legal bit of phone hacking.
