Description
sometimes heaven, sometimes hell, never what it seems.
The Alldens live in a ramshackle house in suburban Bath. Don and Emily have four confident Liz, satirical Clive, shy Lotte, and Benjamin, the late arrival. Together they take the usual knocks, go to work, go abroad, go to university, go to pieces. Don and Emily stick it out, their strong marriage tested by experience and frustrated by love for Clive, the ardent boxing fan at odds with himself, their special child.
