Judi Dench stars in John Hopkins's quartet of plays that recount the events of one weekend from the viewpoints of four members of the same family. In the first play Terry, the 30-year-old daughter of the Stephens family, reminisces about her past and tells of the family reunion on Sunday. Hailed by critics as one of the most important and affecting television dramas of the 1960s, it won Judi Dench her first British Academy Television Award for Best Actress. (1966)

The final part of the John Hopkins quartet goes back in time to Sunday morning when Mrs Stephens (Margery Mason) is busy preparing lunch as she has done for the past 30 years. Terry (Judi Dench) makes an unexpected visit that causes tensions to rise to the surface and tragedy strikes.
