The Dog
Charlotte desperately wants to like dogs. There's less enthusiasm from Lillian. Stars Helen Monks and Miriam Margolyes. From 2021.
Charlotte and Lillian are back, continuing a Befriend the Elderly scheme despite not liking each other much.
Both are convinced they’re doing the other a favour - Charlotte by providing company for a lonely old lady, Lillian by filling gaps on the CV of a self-absorbed millennial.
Charlotte is ever eager to embrace the latest trends, from dog ownership and online fundraising to improved nutrition for the local community.
She's also determined to get Lillian out of the house, where Lillian promptly reveals her unique take on the rules of the road, domestic animals and Charlotte’s preoccupation with what other people think of her.
As a way of winning over Mo, a local dog owner, Charlotte is desperate to prove her love of all things canine.
She lures Lillian into borrowing a dog - and promptly discovers that they're inseparable.
Written by Kat Sommers and Holly Walsh.
