Clare in the Community – The Nanny State

When social worker Clare Barker and her long-suffering husband Brian find themselves struggling to cope with childcare for their young son Thomas, an unexpected encounter complicates matters further. Clare bumps into Nali, the much-loved nanny they previously dismissed, prompting both parents to reconsider past decisions. As usual, Clare is far more adept at managing other people’s lives than her own, leading to a series of comic misunderstandings and domestic crises.
