16EXT. SOUTH KENSINGTON STREET - LATE AFTERNOON

A well-used Morris Oxford pulls up, driven by Lionel’s eldest son - LAURIE. Lionel is the passenger. As he gets out:

LIONEL

Still sounds a bit rough.

LAURIE

You make me drive too slowly, Dad!

LIONEL

Did you pick mum up from Bridge?

LAURIE

Yes, I’ve hardly been out of the

car all day.

They enter a modest dwelling.
