Coming of Age
ygwerin19 June 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The Larkin twins Petunia and Zinia can't settle in class, preferring to act the goat with their teachers. This comes to a head when the school head teacher feels impelled, to complain to their parents about it. The Larkins are now faced with a dilemma of, what to do about the twins further education. Ma seeks help from Edith Pilchester who suggested an old friend, at what the twins insist on calling Broccoli College.

Edith is somewhat brasic and has been told about what became known, as Tupperware Parties to hopefully earn a few Bob. However Edith proves to have absolutely no head for business, but Marriette helps her iron out the wrinkles.

Primrose hormones continue to simmer the objects of her interest ranging from, lads her own age to one somewhat older working on the family home. Like any parent especially of the period when this show was set Pop had got used to seeing Primrose as his little girl. But for Primrose approaching her 16th birthday, she no longer wants the usual kids party for she is growing up.

Mr. Bristow of Bristow's Beer is in lumber over the firms accounts, and approaches Charlie for help with the companies books.

at least, Primrose is back from France
Well, with Primrose back, she might not be the Primrose of choice, but better than no Primrose at all. Catherine Zeta Jones was a whole lot better, too, has to be, it's already Season 3, and she has some reputation to live up to. All in all, another charming episode in a series brimming over with charm. The twins go to boarding school and Primrose has het sights on a new love and Charley does accounting work to make ends meet and, well, doesn't sound like much, and there isn't much, but David Janson, Pop Larkin, has the magic glue that keeps it all together.
