[QUOTE="James from London, post: 353991, member: 22"] I'm not at all sure, but I kind of got the impression it was kind of a nice arrangement for Sue Hanson: six months on, then six months off to be with the family. Oh yeah it was great. I think Carney got into debt with some bad men who threatened to kill his beloved whippet if he didn't cough up. Diane found out and pinched some money from one of the wage packets in the sitting room to give to him. Then I think Faye later caught her putting the money back. Diane refused to defend herself, partly cos she didn't want to get Carney in trouble and partly (as I remember it) cos she didn't want to be answerable to Faye who she still resented for nicking her secretarial job. So instead she quit in a huff, let them all think she was a thief and went to live with her Uncle Ed. That unresolved act of self-sacrifice-cum-self-destruction made a big impression on me. The injustice of it all! (It's possibly more dramatic in my head than it was in the series.) Exactly, and it almost feels like that spinoff-within-the-series is set a hundred years earlier.
