The More things change

A couple decide to give up living in the city and move to a farm, where the husband takes over the job of looking after their young son whilst his wife continues her city job. To alleviate the tension arising from the change in roles they hire a 19 year old live-in child minder who is also four months pregnant. Stars Judy Morris, Barry Otto and Victoria Longley.
