How About You

Plot Summary

Since the death of her husband, Kate (Orla Brady) has been running a residential home for the elderly residents. When her mother is taken ill, Kate reluctantly leaves her impetuous, younger sister Ellie (Hayley Atwell) in charge over the Christmas period. Looking after the home proves to be a mammoth task. Although most of the residents have left to spend the festive season with their families, four grumpy residents known as the "hard core" are left: retired screen beauty Georgia (Vanessa Redgrave), spinster sisters Hazel (Imelda Staunton) and Heather (Brenda Fricker), and reformed alcoholic High Court judge, Donald (Joss Ackland). Its a baptism of fire for Ellie whose youth and inexperience bring her head to head with the cantankerous foursome, resulting in the hilarious - and sometimes sad antics of these uncivilized seniors.
