Thanks for the kind thought, anyway :-)

Well, to give you an idea of what you're all missing, here's the the the back of
the box followed by  a synopsis for each episode.

Torn between his social conscience that dictates he should look after his
mother in her old age and his need to lead a normal existence whilst in the
prime of his life, Arthur tries to accommodate his mother's constant demands for
affection and attention. Vague but vicious, and more arsenic than old lace,
Maggie would have the beleaguered Arthur tied to her apron strings, if she could
just remember where she put the apron...

The money:
Maggie has been saving up her pension, cheques, believing that if she hides them
in a safe place then the government will never know how much money she has got.
But Arthur want to know. He needs a new car and Robert (her other son) has got
one cheap. But where are the cheques? They're not in the freexer with the
iron....

The funeral:
Uncle Andrew has finally carked it (died) bless his soul and Maggie and Arthur
set out with old Uncle Tom  to pay their respects at his funeral, stopping on
the way so that Maggie can buy a bag of oranges. Will Uncle Tom survive the
service? And just how much havoc can Maggie wreak with an open grave and more
than a dozen oranges?

The Promotion:
Maggie confuses spray cans while trying to starch one of Arthur's best shirts
and an exasperated Arthur considers accepting a promotion which entails a move
to Canberra. His annoying brother Robert, argues that Arthur must stay and look
after his mother, while Maggie herself is all for him leaving. In an effort to
prove her independence, Maggie attempts to cook a meal... cheese on toast in the
toaster!

The Aunt:
Arthur invites Maggie's sister, Lorna, over for a visit. Maggie hasn't seen
Lorna in ten years and, besides, it will provide Arthur with a free babysitter.
But, as usual, nothing goes as planned. Maggie demonstrates her (initial)
enthusiasm by playing the piano and singing until one in the morning - nerly
driving Arthur to distraction. Lorna dares to pick some of Maggi's flowers and
finally the two sisters almost come to blows over a silly brooch.

The Card Game
Arthur plans a card night at home with a few friends.... all he wants is for
Maggie to stay out of the way and particularly, for her to keep clear of the
bathroom. Unfortunately, the cards seem to have disappeared. Is this an act of
sabotage on Maggie's part? Will her memory be jogged if Arthur allows her to
take part in the card game? Nis friends don't mind. In fact, they seem to like
her.

The Picnic
It probably was their own fault. If they'd just been a bit nicer to her, none of
it wold have happened. But just the same, how can you possibly lose your own
mother at a family picnic?

The Accident (This is the start of the second DVD disk).
Someone drops a typewriter on Arthur's foot and he's stuck at home with Maggie
looking after him. Isn't it lucky that she used to be a nurse? While Maggies
parodies the lady with the lamp, Arthur would really rather just be left
alone... but that is not to be.

The Last Will
There's no doubt Maggie loves Arthur. She's not only going to leave him the most
precious think she owns but a million dollars as well. Arthur would rather have
the house. Andd that's a pity because Robert, Arthurs' self-centred brother, is
getting that.

The Cruise
Why shouldn't Maggie go on a cruise with a man her family doesn't know? Maggie
knows him. She just can't remember his name.
