We don't see much of Zoe's father, but the episode in series 2 when Mum and Dad meet Alec ('I Remember It Well') is one worth watching. Poor Zoe was left out in the cold as her parents reminisced with Alec over life in their younger years, talking of her as a small child as he speaks of his own children. After the meeting, her mother said that the relationship will not work, for although they got on well, he was of a different generation to her daughter.

From Quiz "It's a Long Long Time from May to December"

Answer: He was making a present for Simone's husband

It was a new lectern for the church, a present from Simone to her vicar husband. Alec did not know about this and was suspicious of the carpenter's coming and going, especially as he was young, handsome and interested in his wife.

17. Which class of students gave Zoe the worst time at school?

From Quiz 'May to December'

18. At the beginning of the programme, how old was Alec, and how old was Zoe?

From Quiz "It's a Long Long Time from May to December"

Answer: Alec was in his mid-50s and Zoe was 27

Zoe was the 'May' and Alec was the 'December' of the programme title. It is strange, though, that the viewing public accepted six seasons (38 episodes) of this comedy (1989-1994), but only one season (6 episodes) of 'Sweet Sixteen' (1983) which starred the much-loved Penelope Keith who fell in love with a man sixteen years her junior.
