In a sitting room in Watford Barry (82) and Margaret (81) stand over a dusty old reel to reel that Barry’s brought down from the loft. He turns a chunky switch to “record” and the quarter inch tape begins to spool - time to “leave something behind” for future generations.

Barry wants to be remembered as a sort of cross between Bulldog Drummond and Max Miller, so he’s going to tell this machine a series of rip-roaring anecdotes and dress them up as tales from his own life. Margaret is going to bring Barry refreshments and correct him. The show becomes a fluid mix of chaotic narration and dramatizations in flashback in which Barry appears as a younger, more heroic version of himself.
