The irrepressible Mim celebrates turning 70 by writing a bucket list. Item one: drag her only daughter Fran on the 'mini break they never had'. But when Fran tries to leave, Mim reveals she's dying, forcing Fran to stay and make the effort.
Mim has a plan to fund her bucket list by selling the contents of a time capsule buried at her alma mater, Cambridge. Fran is excited to learn that famous historian Mary Tash works at the college but Mim knows that Mary holds a secret about her past which could change Fran's opinion of her forever.
It's off to cousin Pat's the night before Gemma's wedding. Fran finds acceptance from Gemma and her bridesmaids, but when Gemma reveals she doesn't want to go through with the wedding, Mim and Fran try to help her, making some important discoveries in the process.
For her 70th birthday, Mim Morgenstein (Miriam Margolyes, Rake) asks her adult daughter Fran (Frog Stone, No Offence) to drive them across the countryside for 'the mini-break they never had'. Fran obliges, but no good deed goes unpunished.
