Episode 1[]
He arrives at Exchequers, believing it to be his own official residence in retirement, only to discover, to his horror, former Conservative Prime Ministers Alec Douglas-Home and Harold Macmillan living there. Mortified at the thought of spending his twilight years with Tories, his fears get worse when he's greeted by his successor James Callaghan. He decides to escape, after hearing an offscreen Edward Heath play on his organ, to which he fails upon learning from a taunting Callaghan of the retirement home's extreme security measures. He tries calling for his Private Secretary Marcia Williams but the home's matron Queen Victoria, comes downstairs annoyed by the noise and pulls him by the ear to the table, where she force feeds him with Macmillan's ear trumpet (she tricks him into opening his mouth by saying how well Neil Kinnock's doing at being the new Labour leader).
Wilson whines about how unfair this whole situation is on him, claiming he deserves better as he's a Lord and he met the Beatles, and begins crying. When former Labour leader Michael Foot enters, asking for odd jobs, Wilson yells at him to get out and soon throws him out the window for his landslide defeat at the previous election. An angered Victoria re-enters holding the battered Foot, and figuring out that Wilson caused the window to break, slaps him repeatedly and forces him to eat his soup. Douglas-Home, playing around with his fishing rod, lands his bait in the soup. Wilson mistakes it for a fly and pulls it out, only for Douglas-Home to tumble down the stairs in his wheelchair. Wilson can only feel annoyed at his soup being ruined as Macmillan tells him not to worry.
Episode 2[]
He is seen sleeping next to Macmillan as the latter tells the viewer about Prince Andrew.
