Sandra and Norman Allenby are such a couple - and they're having their first child. The prospect of being a father, with all that this entails, is almost too much for Norman's imagination; determined to do his best, he usually manages to over-complicate any situation, and to him, his graphic fantasies are painfully real. Well-organised Sandra knows how to best reassure her apprehensive husband. As comedy, "It's Your Child Norman Allenby" takes a gentle swing at some of the shibboleths surrounding parenthood; as comment on both the fears and aspirations of parents-to-be, it contains some quite important messages. 56 mins.
