Well as far as I remember, that`s it. It doesn`t really end as such. Just comes to a halt when Bev`s husband dies.

Depends how far you got. It goes on a bit. Was it the Alison Steadman version?

That's a blast from the past, can't remember how it ends sorry. I love Mike Leigh's work.
Laurence has a heart attack and dies. That's it really, it just ends as a tableau with Laurence under a duvet and the others looking on.
I saw this with Hannah Waterman a couple of weeks ago at Richmond, not a patch on Alison Steadman! What a classic, watched it this week as well on TV.
Who is the actress who plays Angela? She's very familiar but can't place where I saw her before.
It's Janine Duvitski - later the neighbour in 'One Foot in the Grave'
She also plays Jacqueline in Benidorm. She has been in lots of TV plays over the years.
That's it...Thank you.
It is a fabulous play - Alison Steadman is perfect, and the ratcheting tension under that thin veneer of suburban respectability is just wonderful.
It ends with Abigail's mother on the phone to her daughter (Abigail) looking worried. Abigail ! ?
Any play with Alison Steadman is/was fabulous.
