Take My Mother-in-Law
1994 50m[Documentary](/on-demand/category/documentary)
Why do men tell jokes about their mother-in-law? Why do women find their husband's mother difficult to deal with? Is this a British only phenomenon? Shown just before Mothering Sunday, this takes a semi-serious look at the least favourite relation. Includes clips and input from comedians Les Dawson and Tom O'Connor, Mike Reid, agony aunt Irma Kurtz, and marital psychotherapist Judy Hildebrand. People tell of their personal experiences of mothers-in-law including Beryl Bainbridge who was nearly shot by hers and the man who married his.
