Mrs. Dewy Dick's mother Mary presides over a chaotic house full of food, drink, laughter and dogs and the friends of her husband and children. ...Mrs. Dewy sat in a brown settle by the side of the glowing wood fire-so glowing that with a heedful compression of the lips she would now and then rise and put her hand upon the hams and flitches of bacon lining the chimney, to reassure herself that they were not being broiled instead of smoked-a misfortune that had been known to happen now and then at Christmas-time... Actress Jane Wheldon's previous credits include appearances in Cracker, Ultraviolet, A Touch of Frost and Holby City.
