Plot
Arthur and Beryl Crabtree had raised four children and looked forward to the day when their time once again would be their own; a second honeymoon was planned as the last of their offspring finally left home. However, their hopes were soon dashed as one by one the fledglings returned to the nest disillusioned with life in the outside world. For the children there was simply no place like home.
The eldest of the children was Lorraine (Beverley Adams) who had married traffic warden Raymond Codd (Daniel Hill) but quickly cast him aside in the final series. Raymond is replaced by a similar character Roger Duff (Roger Martin) in Lorraine's affections. There was also Nigel, a medical student, Paul and Tracey (and their assorted girlfriends and boyfriends), while the Crabtree's domestic bliss was also disturbed by their nosey neighbours the Bottings, particularly the shrieking, animal-loving Vera.
Arthur and Vera's husband Trevor often escaped to the greenhouse when things became unbearable, seeking solace in a glass of home-made sherry.
