Actor Richard returns home from London to visit his dad Ken, a year on from the passing of his mum Jean. But on arriving, he realises his dad may need more help than he'd originally thought.

Richard decides the time has come to clear Ken's house of all his junk – or as Ken calls it, 'his memories'. As Ken's suspicions over Richard's true motives grow, the arrival of Mr Oddjob, local handyman and Richard's former school nemesis, complicates matters further.

Raisins

Concerned that Ken is spending too much time on his own, Richard offers to take him to the local golf club, unaware that he’s about to play a much bigger part in integrating his dad back into the community than he'd originally intended.

Team Pritchard

Richard battles medical receptionists – and a stubborn Ken – in order to secure Ken a doctor’s appointment on the same day that he is asked to impart his acting wisdom to the local am-dram group.

The Thespian

Richard secures an audition and embarks on a journey to track down the elusive Brian – Ken’s oldest friend, with whom he lost touch with years ago – in order to invite him to Ken’s surprise 75th birthday party.

Who's Brian?

Richard struggles with finding the right time to tell Ken his big news as the two of them spend the day touring Forres in search of the ideal spot to scatter Jean’s ashes.

The Long Goodbye

Richard's long overdue visit to recently-widowed Ken makes him realize his dad may need a bit more full time help. Not that Ken would agree, of course, but that statement is pretty much true about anything. An eccentric, strong-willed technophobe, Ken is set in his ways, leaving Richard worrying about his dad growing old.
