Series 21 is a programme presented as an episode, forming part of the ongoing series. It falls under the generic label of “episode” and is catalogued simply as a programme, without any further classification provided. The central storyline follows a woman who has struggled with alcoholism. She decides to place a substantial settlement into the hands of her daughter, trusting her to manage the funds. After the transfer, the mother later asserts that she never laid eyes on the money again. Her history of alcohol dependence is a key element, shaping how she perceives and handles her finances. The settlement in question is described as large, indicating a significant amount of money being passed down. The daughter becomes the recipient of this sum, positioning her at the centre of the unfolding situation. Eventually, the mother claims she has not seen the money since handing it over, suggesting a disconnect between the initial hand‑over and her subsequent awareness of its whereabouts. This claim forms the crux of the episode’s tension, revolving around the interplay of trust, familial responsibility, and the lingering impact of past addiction.
