The milkman (Stuart Erwin) arrives like clockwork, the neighbors perpetually gossip about nothing and children contemplate their future.

Their happiness does not last, however, as Emily dies during the birth of a child. Returning as a ghost, she ponders her existence.

Alongside her role as MP for Stafford, Theo Clarke also held The Position of UK Trade Envoy to Kenya until her resignation last July in protest of Boris Johnson 's leadership.
In a stinging resignation letter, Ms Clarke rebuked Mr Johnson for his handling of sexual abuse allegations surrounding the then Conservative MP Chris Pincher, who holds the neighbouring seat of Tamworth in Staffordshire.
Ms Clarke was one of dozens of MPs whose resignations ultimately led to Mr Johnson having to Stand Down as Prime Minister .
