Synopsis: Beecham House is abuzz. The rumor circling the halls is that the home
for retired musicians is soon to play host to a new resident. Word is,
it's a star. For Reginald Paget (Tom Courtenay), Wilfred Bond (Billy
Connolly) and Cecily Robson (Pauline Collins) this sort of talk is par
for the course at the gossipy home. But they're in for a special shock
when the new arrival turns out to be none other than their former
singing partner, Jean Horton (Maggie Smith). Her subsequent career as a
star
soloist, and the ego that
accompanied it, split up their long friendship and ended her marriage
to Reggie, who takes the news of her arrival particularly hard. Can the
passage of time heal old wounds? And will the famous quartet be able to
patch up their differences in time for Beecham House's gala concert? --
