Shane Richie stars in the first broadcast programme since EastEnders. As Alfie Moon, he cared for his elderly "Nan", whilst being big brother to Spencer and pub landlord, whilst chasing Kat Moon.
In this TV film, he goes on holiday with his elderly parents and his wife, whose body clock is ticking away on overtime. His dad has Parkinson's and Shane is trying to do the best by him. It turns out that his dad had fathered a child during the war and was living in Malta.
The story tells how the family trace the missing brother, who scams them out of all their savings.
It is a good emotive film with a smattering of Richie comedy thrown in at times.
It shows the difficulties of reunions of long lost family, coping with Parkinsons, making the decision to place a parent into Care, whilst trying to fend of a broody Missus.
Well worth a watch.
