On The Up Series 1, Episode 5 - British Comedy Guide (original) (raw)

Much to her dismay, Maggie's father visits from Scotland. He is rude, objectionable, and more than a little dismissive of his daughter. Meanwhile, Tony hires a militant-feminist driver for the company, who proceeds to aggravate and annoy the rest of his staff, and with his mother's birthday approaching, arranges a party at the house.
