Linda is a working-class mum and wife. She’s also just turned 50.
Is there a birthday party? Naturally: one she organises, invites guests to, bakes the cake for and cleans up after. A thankless job – and it’s not even the birthday girl, but her loudmouth class clown husband Steve (Omid Djalili) who is the centre of attention, and whose heartfelt toast to his life partner comprises solely of her being “fit for your age” and “a great mum”.
