At 49 his chances of getting another job in London are looking slim. He moves in with his Bentley, his wine cellar and no sign of a plan B.

The other side of Becky you've got Sheila and George, lived there forever, George is now retired. And that's the problem for Sheila. Finally they have to face up to the cracks in their marriage and for Sheila it proves a difficult journey.
