Roger & Val Have Just Got In

Roger Stephenson, a botanist at the local winter gardens,and his wife Val,who teaches domestic science,are a long-married couple,whose children have flown the nest. When the Hoover breaks down they search for the guarantee in the 'big drawer' in the garage,finding an old door knocker and various holiday souvenirs. They discuss the past and plan the future. Val locates the guarantee but,inexplicably,tears it up,which Roger sees as a gesture of independence. For all that he Sellotapes it back together again.
