  The legendary Mike Leigh's slice-of-life look at a sweet working-class couple in London introduces us to Shirley and Cyril Cyril's mother who is in the grip of her declining years mother's ghastly upper-middle class neighbours and Cyril's pretentious sister and philandering husband. In due course Shirley wants a baby but Cyril who reads Marx and wants the world to be perfect is reluctant. Then Cyril's mother finds herself stranded forced to turn to her snooty neighbours for help. And when Cyril's sister Valerie stages a surprise party for her Mum's 70th birthday the stage is set for a disaster from start to finish. With Shirley barely holding it all together she may be able to put Cyril's protestations aside after all.
