Ida
Willis
played by Mollie
Sugden |
|
|
Forthright Ida has had trouble finding employment
that suits her until she is reunited with her son and taken
on as housekeeper at his flat in Muswell Hill, London. Unafraid
to voice her opinions (especially those concerning Mrs. Price),
nevertheless her mischievous nature and heart of gold make her
very endearing. |
|
Dr
Robert Price
played by Christopher
Blake |
|
|
Known as 'Shane' to birth mother Ida, Robert
is a doctor who practises in a nearby hospital. Initially reluctant
to accept Ida as his mother, he soon warms to her and treats
her as one of the family. |
|
| THE OTHER
REGULARS |
|
Angie Price
played by Jennifer
Lonsdale
Robert's beautiful young wife, whose profession is modelling
(and later, television commercial actress), is not the sharpest
tool in the box, but develops an affectionate relationship
with Ida.
|
|
|
Wilfred Willis
played by Harold
Goodwin
Ida's criminally inclined brother, who has been in and out
of prison for years, but is, however, quite harmless. Lazy
and forever on the scrounge, he often causes problems for
his sister and her family, particularly due to his ill-disguised
(and unreciprocated) admiration for Mrs. Price.

|
Mrs. Price (series 1 - 4)
played by Clare
Richards
Referred to as Robert's 'other mother', the woman who brought
him up is distinctly unimpressed at Ida muscling in on his
affections and makes no secret of her dislike for her. A terrible
snob, she disapproves of everything and everyone, except Robert.
|
|
|
Miss Edith Parfitt (series 5 & 6)
played by Deddie
Davies
The dithering receptionist at the Yorkshire practice where
Robert later starts working. Although efficient when it comes
to her job, all other aspects of her life are sadly neglected,
and she looks doomed to live forever with her demanding elderly
mother.
