In tonight's episode, Meldrew reluctantly agrees to speak at the local Women's Guild's meeting in honour of his late mother, but as he grapples with the prospect of facing the ladies, he uncovers a sinister plot that threatens to derail the entire event. Meanwhile, his long-suffering wife Margaret is tormented by a pesky rodent that's been making itself at home in their kitchen.
