Glen Byam Shaw: Colonel Redfern

Quotes 

• Alison Porter : You know what he said about mummy, he said she was an overfed, overprivileged old cow.

  Colonel Redfern : I see, and what did he say about me?

  Alison Porter : He doesn't seem to mind you, in fact I think he rather likes you. Poor old daddy, just one of those sturdy plants left over from the Edwardian era wondering why the sun doesn't shine any more.

  Colonel Redfern : Why did you have to meet this young man?

  Alison Porter : Oh daddy, please don't put me on trial now. I've been on trial every day and night for the past two years.

  Colonel Redfern : But why you, my daughter?

• Colonel Redfern : I think you take after me my dear, you like to sit on the fence. Its comfortable and more peaceful.

  Alison Porter : Sitting on the fence? I married him, didn't I?
