StyleA comedy with a large slice of farce.
Synopsissees arachnophobic Pat moving into her new house after her recent divorce. Pat's mum Mona has reluctantly agreed to move in with her to help her finance the move and marks her reluctance by planting the idea that the previous owners have left behind Terry, their pet tarantula, who has escaped and lurks somewhere in the house. Needless to say Mona's prank backfires as removal man Les, snobby neighbours Annabel and Jonathan and Jill from the Electricity Company, who also suffers from arachnophobia, all become variously involved in the search for Terry with chaotic, hilarious results. The comedy becomes heart-warmingly poignant as Mona reveals her true motivation to her daughter.
