The Rebel

- Season 2

(2017)

Visiting daughter Cath Henry realizes that she has money problems, with husband Jeremy working in Africa. Charles, in receipt of a legacy, offers to help but Henry refuses. However the lettings agents only suggest Henry sells his house to stave off Cath being evicted and the bank refuses a loan. Henry realizes the only way to help may be to say farewell to the past - literally.

Henry is to deliver a eulogy at a friend's funeral and Cath's lodger agrees to drive them to the church, along with Margaret and Charles but Henry decides to go on his old Mod scooter,. Unfortunately he has an accident and goes flying over a hedge, needing to take a train to finish the journey. The question is, will he make it in time?

After Henry has celebrated his 71st birthday by jumping into the sea and Charles has eaten a dodgy kebab they both end up in hospital. Charles' jealousy of Margaret's friendship with Dr Cranmore ends him up in isolation whilst Heny's attempts to escape are stopped short by a memory from the past.

When Charles' ex-wife Angela is arrested for growing cannabis Henry persuades Charles to sell the crops to pay for her lawyer and they set up their Magic Muffins stall on the seafront. The muffins taste awful but fortunately ex-hippy chick Margaret can show them the right recipe. However the vengeful P C Burns is onto them and it is Cath and Amaya, fighting against a healthy eating regime, who ultimately destroy the evidence.

Henry takes his friends to a club where Margaret attracts the unwanted attention of the suave Dennis - to Charles' envy. Encouraged by Angela Charles attempts to make a play for Margaret but Henry's effort to fend off Dennis is almost misunderstood. Meanwhile Cath throws her own party but gets a surprise announcement from Jeremy.

After Charles tells him he is thinking of moving back to Scotland where he has been left a house Henry discovers he has been burgled and the urn containing his late wife's ashes stolen. Cath persuades him to try and retrieve it, leading to a dodgy antique dealer, a trio of juvenile delinquents and a family row, healed after Cath gets the ashes back. Margaret and Charles also come to a decision.
