Episode 1 of Season 4 kicks off with Helen calling up her daughter Janey for help.  This doesn't happen often, so it must be something very serious.  She is about to celebrate her 78th birthday, so it's possible she's also about to get the answer to the question, i.e. is she old yet?

Episode 12, bring Season 3 to a close. Susie has been delegated to try to find out why Helen, her grandmother, is so unhappy. It's obvious Helen doesn't want her memoir to be published, but no one can understand why, and her family are very worried about her. It seems an over-anxious daughter is nothing compared to an over-anxious mother.

cast: Flloyd Kennedy as Susie and Helen.

Episode 11, Season 3. Helen is in her late 70s, but no-one who knows her would say she's afraid of a challenge. However... Something is deeply troubling her about the possible publication of her memoir, and Joey—her oldest friend and also her publisher—is worried about her mental state. She calls on Helen's daughter Janey to see if they can figure out a way to help and support Helen to make the best decision for herself.

Episode 10. Helen's elder sister, Marian, has dementia, but she still manages to phone up from Rockhampton in Australia for a chat. Helen has a problem with the memoir she was commissioned to write, but which she really doesn't want to have published, although she can't explain why. And Harry next door struggles to accept that he's too frail to climb ladders any more. Ah me, as the poet George Melling says "Don't get old. It puts years on you!"

Cast: Flloyd Kennedy as - Helen, Marian, Janey.
