It''s Christmas, and Beth Timms is mourning the recent death of her health and safety officer husband, Gordon. Beth''s sister-in- law Connie and son Martin have come to stay, determined to ensure that she should have a stress-free Christmas, but between Connie''s drinking problem and Martin''s unspeaking and emotionally volatile girlfriend Ella, their intentions prove to be short-lived.

Gordon has been busy implementing health and safety measures in the afterlife and is now determined to stick around to help Beth manage her affairs. It soon becomes apparent, however, that his return is not altogether welcome. "... comic and touching ..." - Michael Billington, Guardian
