Although quite shy around women, Timothy longs to find love and leave home, but Phyllis is always against the idea and constantly manipulates her son into staying at home.

Muriel had successfully left home and married Kevin, and so is viewed with distrust by her mother.

Barbara Lott, who played Timothy's mother, was only ten years older than Corbett.
