Plot
Set in "Paradise Lodge Retirement Home", it was created and written by the writing partnership of Michael Ashton and Pam Valentine and starred much-loved TV Battleaxe Peggy Mount as the wily Flora Petty, with Character-Actress Pat Coombs as her sidekick Cissie Lupin. The majority of the 31 episodes (broadcast throughout the show's 4-year run) centred around Flora's attempts to thwart the long-suffering staff, led by Miss Milton (Charmian May). They are on occasion assisted by former theatrical artiste Dolly Love (played by veteran stage actress Lally Bowers) and the haughty Mildred Fanshaw (played by sitcom regular Diana King).
It was produced by Yorkshire Television for the ITV network from 1977 to 1981.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“Morality for the novelist is expressed not so much in the choice of subject matter as in the plot of the narrative, which is perhaps why in our morally bewildered time novelists have often been timid about plot.”
—Jane Rule (b. 1931)
“The plot was most interesting. It belonged to no particular age, people, or country, and was perhaps the more delightful on that account, as nobody’s previous information could afford the remotest glimmering of what would ever come of it.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“Those blessed structures, plot and rhyme—
why are they no help to me now
I want to make
something imagined, not recalled?”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
