Synopsis
Widower and ex-postman Peter Banks lives with his daughter Betty and son-in-law Brian but knows that his presence there is uncomfortable for all three.[2] He strikes up an unlikely friendship with mild mannered retired librarian Harry King, which gives them both a new lease of life.[3][4] Gradually Peter and Harry realise that they can fill the gaps in each other's lives and Peter moves into the spare room at his landlady Ellie's house.
