My Big Fat Empty Nest

Her daughter has just flown the nest and her pensioner mum has dived headlong into internet dating – can Hattie hold on to her sanity?

Hattie is a 47-year-old mother whose daughter, Layla, is just about to head off to university. She’s not coping terribly well (Hattie that is – Layla seems to be coping admirably),bursting into tears at the drop of a hat.

To add to the angst, Hattie’s mother, Meredith, has started online dating -unfortunately it’s Hattie who has to pick up the pieces when it all goes wrong.

With everyone around her starting new adventures, is it time for Hattie to find one of her own?
