Season Nine -- SPOILERS
If you don't want to
know what's going to happen in advance,
then don't scroll down any farther.
****************
Here's what we know so far ...
Season Nine picks up where Season Eight left
off
(possibly with a couple of months gone by).
Episode #1:
Alistair realizes who he wants - and that he
should settle down. But which will come
first - his business
dealings or romance? And is Jean there to help the situation
along?
Episode
#2: As the ladies start the wedding preparations, Alistair's
nerves seem to get the best of
him. How does he deal with that and what role does Lionel play?
Rocky, Mrs. Bale
and Lol help out
with the plans for the reception at the country house. Penny and
Stephen drop by for a
visit but they might not be able to attend the wedding --
why not?
Note: Due to the death of actress Joan Sims last year, "Madge's"
absence has been
attributed to "a trip to Egypt".
Episode
#3: Judith and Alistair's Wedding
They finally made it to the alter. The ceremony took place in the
same church
as Rocky and Madge. Harry was at the wedding but was too nervous
to ask
Sandy to go to Canada with him -- feeling he doesn't have enough to
offer her.
Stephen inadvertently turned down the OBE -- he ticked the wrong box on
the
form. Needless to say -- Penny is not talking to him.
Episode
#4: While straightening up Judith's room, a sad Jean finds a
note under her pillow --
something Judith did as a little girl. Sandy thinks about moving
out now that Judith
is married -- but Jean won't hear of that and Lionel points out now that
Sandy will be
running the business, she'll be making more money. Sandy decides
to stay.
On his way home from returning his wedding suit, Lionel finds a shoddily
dressed
woman with a ring in her nose named, "Dave", sitting on their
steps. Jean makes up
an excuse to go to the police station to talk to Harry. When she
returns home,
Dave is still sitting on their steps. It starts to rain and a
worried Jean invites
Dave to come inside. Alistair and Judith make a surprise visit on
their way to
Barbados and invite everyone to the pub for champagne. Lionel
doesn't want to
leave Dave alone in the house. Jean thinks it will be OK and puts
money under
a pot to test her. Harry shows up at the pub, whisks Sandy back to
the house and
proposes. The others return home to help Sandy pack for Canada ...
Final Scene: Jean and Lionel
are in bed. Lionel is snoring, Jean is fretting about
their "empty nest" -- hoping for grandchildren to come and
visit and suggests that
they do something exciting. It ends with her reading a travel
brochure ...
"Trekking in the Andes" ...
Special
Episode -- You Must Remember This
'Just when you thought you'd never see Jean and Lionel or
this endearing
comedy again, here's a compilation of all the best bits. Jean
(Judi Dench)
is trying to persuade Lionel (Geoffrey Palmer) to write "part
two" of his
autobiography, the bit where they met up again after all those years.
"It
sounds made up!" is Lionel's response. There then follows
clips of that
meeting and all the other key moments from the past 64 episodes, each of
which Jean maintains could make a chapter. And if ever you
wondered why
this charming comedy is so popular, watch this. The proposal scene
is
quite perfect.'
