Plot Summary (Courtesy of Martin Underwood).
Pippa Lloyd ("Muffin") and Neil Whittle have now started going out together, much to the dismay
of Pippa's father. They take their A level exams and leave home to go to Exeter University. They drift
apart after Pippa falls for another student, Tony Gregg, and Neil finds that he prefers to spend all his
time drinking and setting up a pop group. However they eventually get back together again and make
the ultimate commitment - by the end of the play, they have a baby! Pippa's and Neil's parents have to
adjust to life without their children. Harriet Lloyd has a brief affair with a local antique-shop owner,
Gordon Callow; Hugh Lloyd opens an office in Exeter so he can keep an eye on Pippa and make sure
she mixes with the right sort of people; Bevis Whittle suffers a mental breakdown but eventually Shani
persuades him to go back to the local college in Blackburn where he does a night-school course in
Sport Science; Shani herself studies for a degree in Cultural Studies.
