The Kid

The BBC decide to resurrect some of the local stars of television in the 1970s for a show entitled "Bring Back the Seventies!" It turns out that Ma was once a member of a hugely popular girl group called The Trufelles while Uncle Andy was Dandy Andy the presenter of a children's show called "Domper Stomper Do". Both former stars agree to take part in the televison programme: Ma because she is just dying to meet her old band mates who went on to fame fortune in America while she stayed at home to look after Da and her family; and Uncle Andy because he is trying to get over the horror of his last ever show when he killed the programme's pet rabbit with an empty vodka bottle. When they finally get to the studio however, it becomes clear that Ma is more determined to exact revenge from her former friends and that Uncle Andy is becoming increasing deranged...
