Episodes
Caroline gets a job at a notoriously rough school in Huddersfield and moves, with Alan and Celia and her two sons, to a ramshackle farmhouse outside the town - not that Celia is happy with her accommodation. On a girls' night out Caroline confides in Gillian, who also admits she feels haunted by late husband Eddie, especially after Robbie has a serious accident on the farm. Celia however is buoyant when she lands the role of Madame Arcati in a local production of 'Blithe Spirit' and ropes in a reluctant Alan when another cast member falls ill. Alan's friend Harry alarms everybody by claiming that Caroline's house is haunted.
While Christmas shopping together, Caroline tells Gillian the reason for her new job and how she met new girlfriend Olga, who encouraged her to take it. For Christmas dinner both families turn up at Caroline's house, along with John and the newly sober Judith, now a successful children's author. Whilst Alan confesses his stage fright to Harry, Celia leads a séance. Gillian makes a startling confession to Robbie. The play goes ahead with Alan triumphant whilst Olga lets Gillian in on a secret about Caroline, who starts her first day at the new school with unbounded confidence.
After half a century apart, Celia (Anne Reid) and Alan (Derek Jacobi) are reunited and decide to marry.
