Cold Enough for Snow is a 1997 sequel to Eskimo Day, which was about anxious parents whose teenage children were having interviews at the University of Cambridge. This show follows the children taking their exams and heading off to university, and how each of the parents faces their own personal crisis.Neil Whittle (Benedict Sandiford), the son of Shani and Bevis (Maureen Lipman and David Ross) from Blackburn, and Pippa Lloyd (Anna Carteret), the daughter of Hugh and Harriet (Tom Wilkinson and Laura Howard) from Cheltenham had both attended interviews at Cambridge, and fallen in love. When they travel to Amsterdam in the summer, they meet Samantha Bodley (Cheryl Fergison), who had picked up the ring Neil had dropped, belonging to his grandma.Pippa gets into Cambridge, but refuses to attend because of her overbearing father Hugh lying about his own attendance at Cambridge, and making it his life's ambition for her to attend. She attends the University of Exeter instead. Still refusing to leave her alone, Hugh moves his office to Exeter and will not stop following her everywhere, under the guise of being a good father, while Pippa's mother Harriet has an affair with Gordon (Nicholas Le Prevost), a restorer of antiques.Neil does not get into Cambridge, and also attends Exeter, although he and Pippa drift apart, only seeing each other at the end of the first term. His father Bevis takes the sudden absence of his son very badly and has a nervous breakdown, while his mother Shani intercepts a letter from Samantha Bodley, containing the missing ring, which had previously belonged to Neil's Grandma Whittle, who had been a cleaner at Blackburn College. Seeing this as an omen, Shani decides to pursue studies of her own there, and persuades Bevis to do likewise.

comment
Heroic B So D: Poor Bevis reacts very badly to Neil leaving home, as he was very close to his son, and his life feels meaningless without him. This begins when Shani asks him to set the table for dinner, and he automatically lays three places instead of two. Later, Bevis has a massive fit of Mirthless Laughter at work in the car maintenance garage, witnessed by his colleagues, Pete and Terry, during a tea break. While fixing a breakdown at the roadside, he is distracted by a group of young boys playing football, and calls to them. Finally, after a long Inner Monologue about recurring childhood memories, enigmas such as "why are the letters of the alphabet in the order that they are?", his "life gone with nowt to show", the title of the film is referenced in a sad Snow Means Death moment. One night, Bevis goes outside and curls up in the snow, like the proverbial Eskimo parents whose children have left home. He is soon rescued by Shani, who is determined to put things right for him.

Twist Ending: The final scene is captioned "Graduation Day". It is not Pippa and Neil who graduate, but Shani. Pippa and Neil instead have a baby daughter, and the final shot of the film is a Group Picture Ending of the entire family.

Chekhov's Gun: This was set up in Eskimo Day, with the wedding ring given to Neil by Shani, which he dropped at Queen's college, and was picked up by Samantha Bodley. She sends the ring back to him by post, in a scruffy envelope, which Shani opens. The letter mentions Blackburn College, and this prompts Shani to pursue studies of her own there, and she persuades the heartbroken Bevis to do likewise.

comment
Fantasy-Forbidding Father: Because it is Hugh's ambition for Pippa to attend Cambridge, he goes to great lengths to make sure this happens, including having a secret meeting with Neil's parents to forbid Pippa and Neil from contacting each other. When Pippa and Neil travel to Amsterdam in the summer, Hugh follows them there, subtly showing his disapproval of Neil. In Exeter, he sets up an office so that he can keep an eye on Pippa, under the guise of being a good father. The day she arrives at the University of Exeter, she finds that he has bought her large amounts of expensive equipment, including a classic car. He has also checked that her neighbouring students are good sorts, both at private schools. He also tries to meet up with university staff, in an attempt to spy on Pippa.

Foreshadowing: The importance of Neil's exam and results is foreshadowed in many ways: Neil double-checks the time on his watch. Bevis offers to drive him to school, in case Neil gets a puncture on his bike. Neil barely eats breakfast. Just before departing, to distract himself, he glances into an empty and neglected rabbit hutch in the garden. Later, Bevis refuses to drive past the school, in case he disturbs Neil's exam. The letter containing his results is very much treated as a momentous missive.

In a huge showdown of Calling the Old Man Out, Pippa has a shouting match with her father about why she will not go to Cambridge. She also makes digs at her mother for enslaving herself to Hugh.

O.O.C. Is Serious Business
 Cold Enough For Snow / int_e83f211c
comment
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: During one scene between Pippa and her father, she approaches him for support, at first with her usual frosty manner towards him. His first instinct is to offer her financial support, but she actually wants emotional support, after a male friend who claimed to fall in love with her ignored her for three weeks. In a mutual Pet the Dog moment, he seems to admit to his own fault, and she becomes warmer towards him.

Product Placement: Pippa's friend Holly Roberts is mentioned to be working at Sock Shop, and is later seen there, complete with uniform. Harriet also mentions that she once caught Pippa kissing a packet of Persil detergent.

Running Gag
 Cold Enough For Snow / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: In Amsterdam, Neil and Pippa keep running into people they know. Gordon constantly showers Harriet with compliments, but she has too little self-esteem to accept them. When Pippa makes very insightful statements about her relationship with her parents, Hugh will automatically ask his wife "what does she mean?". Hugh can never remember Neil's name, perhaps citing his disapproval of Neil.

Comically Missing the Point: Bevis goes to attend a football match, but his heart is not in it without Neil there, and he walks away. He instead meets Shani at the dry cleaners where she works.

Brick Joke: When Bevis is sad and alone, he ponders why the letters of the alphabet are in the order that they are; why not A, B, E, K, F, Z? Over Christmas dinner, Neil tells him that he has run this past lots of people, and even the students of linguistics had no answer.
