BAFTA-nominated comedy After Henry follows the comfortable middle-class lives of three women - expect that, for one of them, life isn't all that comfortable… Sarah has been left well provided for by her late husband but unfortunately, she has also been left with a demanding mother and a prickly adolescent daughter who craves independence - just as long as mother is there to clean up the mess...

Staring Prunella scales (Fawlty towers) as put-upon Sarah and Joan Sanderson (please sir!) as Eleanor, her interfering, waspish mother, After Henry is written by multiple BAFTA-nominee Simon Brett (Rosemary &Thyme) and directed by sit-com legend Peter Frazer-Jones (Man About the House, George and Mildred).
