Who is her father-in-law? Googling turned up nothing about Brad Hall's parents.
"Any beau attracted to Old Christine's slamming body and needy personality would go home and find a brother and an ex who were way too comfortable horning in on her life. And she, in turn, was always was too comfortable horning in on her son's life, when she wasn't ignoring him."

"Niagara" seems like the obvious stopping point to me. The "Mafia" episode that came after it was the first truly terrible episode of the series.
No, it didn't. Are you confusing Yes, Minister with The Thick of It?
Why is that her hair?
Of course, in real life, that sort of decision would only hold up until the midterm election, when voters who aren't fans of coups would sweep his party out of office.
