Mary Poppins er en mildt sagt noe uvanelig barnepike. Hun kan fly, trylle frem spennende ting ut av sin magiske veske og vet hvordan man gjør kjedelige plikter til en morsom lek. Man skulle kunne si at hun er ”praktisk talt perfekt”. Barna Michael og Jane elsker Mary fra første stund men deres pappa, den strenge bankdirektøren George, er ikke like begeistret. Han mener bestemt at barn skal oppdras med regler og disiplin og minst mulig tøys og tull!
The story of a love triangle between a conservative English aristocrat, his mean socialite wife and a young suffragette in the midst of World War I and a Europe on the brink of profound change.
It's 1910 and we're in Banbury church hall at the Banbury Intricate Craft Circle. Margaret has been to London and discovered the Women's Suffrage movement so she decides they need to set up their own movement and The Banbury Intricate Craft Circle becomes the hilariously ineffectual Banbury Intricate Craft Circle politely request women's Suffrage. Gwen is the only member who actually enjoys the craft element of the meetings, while Helen thinks that craft is a little unnecessary, but she's not interested in women's rights: "What on earth do women need a vote for? My husband votes for who I tell him to vote for. What could be a better system than that?"
