Nice 'n Juicy
Pith and Kin
S1 • E2 Nov 9, 1966
Mort comes to the dreadful realisation that his birthday has taken him 'over the high jump' into a new decade from which youth is fast-departing. To Jack, Mort's birthday has a rather more sinister meaning; the annual visit from Aunty Vi who is determined to slice a section from the Hamlin property to suit her own ends. Jack retreats to the packing shed and the sorting machine, only to find himself cornered by his third cousin, April. Her aim is not to acquire a piece of Jack's property, but rather more the sum total of his virtue - which, at Jack's age is precariously held. At the same time, Mort's security is being threatened by the sweet syrups of maternalism as practised by a practiced Auntie Vi.
