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:
“There saw I how the secret felon wrought,
And treason labouring in the traitor’s thought,
And midwife Time the ripened plot to murder brought.”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
“There comes a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given him to till.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“After I discovered the real life of mothers bore little resemblance to the plot outlined in most of the books and articles I’d read, I started relying on the expert advice of other mothers—especially those with sons a few years older than mine. This great body of knowledge is essentially an oral history, because anyone engaged in motherhood on a daily basis has no time to write an advice book about it.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
