    Gazes
      * Dave mouths the words of Denise's complaint, which is seen by Barbara
        She seems to recognise this behaviour from herself, when earlier she
        mouthed the words of her mother.

    Preference
        * The Mother reminds the Son to use the china cup for the Grandmother.
        His annoyance is allowed some expression, shielded as he is by the
        distance and separation of the kitchen, and he shouts back I know!
        We have seen him make this mistake before, in X.X, but he has learnt
        since and feels bothered by the suggestion that he has not.

        During the segment where he pours the milk, there are a number of
        mugs in a line ended by a china cup on a saucer, complete with
        a spoon for sugar; a regular amount of milk is added to each one
        in turn before they are likewise stirred in turn in an equally
        regular manner. Beyond the characterisation of the Son as tea-
        -maker, having so expertly tuned his process, and the
        documentation of a particular brewing ritual, it also serves to
        remind us of the generational shift in value we have already seen
        alluded to around the Sunday Dinner itself. Attention is drawn to the
        grandmother, whose voice we can hear in the other room over this
        image. For her the taking of tea is almost still considered as a
        special moment, at least in appearance, and it may in her own
        grandparents time have been considered a luxury for the folk.

    Relationships
        * A gender divide is introduced, now that the marital situations of
        the Dave/Denise pair and the Barbara/Jim combinations are equalised.
        Jim and Dave are at the Feathers and not seen in the house until they
        arrive, unexpectedly with Twiggy in tow, while the women are at home
        ostensibly preparing for Sunday dinner, though Barbara is given all
        the work.

        * Also absent at the beginning is Anthony, who we learn has been out
        playing football with friends and playing well, apparently, having
        won a game. Coupled with the suggestion that he also has a new girl-
       -friend, it is shown that he is venturing outside the family group
        and developing socially.


2.3
    Personae
        * The Daughter and Son-in-Law call around as in 2.1, but this time
        the Son is not there to open the door, possibly suggesting that
        his own social life is beginning to grow and he is busy with his
        new girlfriend or the football friends mentioned in 2.2. In every
        episode preceding this one, the Son has answered the door; here
        it is the Mother.

    Gazes
        * When the daughter is excited by the television showing Changing
        Rooms, she exclaims that she loves it and the Mother gives a self-
        -satisfied look to the Husband, who acknowledges it with a blank
        expression of his own.

        Barbara's remark about the design, price and fashion awareness of
        Denise's leggings is a platform of demonstration for the
        credential's of Denise's savviness regarding contemporary cultural
        and aesthetic norms. With this done, Barbara again gazes at her husband
        to cast a parallel between Changing Rooms and the leggings, in a way
        suggesting he update his views in light of his apparent social failing.

    Routine
        * The entire Anthony's-got-a-girlfriend dynamic is framed, when it is
        introduced explicitly in conversation, in the desire for a cup of tea.
        Jim asks Barbara to make one, who says Well our Anthony isn't here, and
        explains his absence; then later when Anthony arrives and sits down,
        the first thing Jim asks of him is to make a tea, and says We're all
        parched here.

        Ok, who wants a brew? Every-bloody-body

    Food
        * The biscuits  ...

2.4
    Relationships
        * The new gender divide is made sharper with the physical separation
        between the Jim/Dave combo on the sofa, Jim complaining about Norma
        and conspiring with Dave to find a way they can leave together to visit
        the Feathers.
