Storyline
| Plot Summary |
In 1928 London, milkman Ernest Briggs courts and marries housemaid Ethel; their son Raymond is born in 1934. When World War II breaks out Ethel tearfully allows him to be evacuated to aunts in Dorset while Ernest joins the fire service, shocked by the carnage he sees. As hostilities end they celebrate Raymond's return and entry to grammar school, and the birth of the welfare state though Ethel is mistrustful of socialism and progress in general. Raymond himself progresses from National Service to art college and a teaching post, worrying his mother by marrying schizophrenic Jean. Father and son console each other as Ethel slips away, but before long Raymond is mourning his father too, though both Ethel and Ernest will forever be immortalized by Raymond's touching account of their lives.

| Quotes |
[first lines]
Raymond Briggs: [voice over] There was nothing extraordinary about my Mum and Dad, nothing dramatic, no divorce or anything, but they were my parents and I wanted to remember them by doing a picture book. It's a bit odd really, having a book about my parents up there in the best seller list among all the football heroes and cookbooks. They'd be proud of that, I suppose, or rather probably embarrassed too. I'd imagine they'd say, "It wasn't like that," or, "How can you talk about that?" Well, I have, and this is their story.
