Mary Poppins er den fortryllende barnepige, der med tasken fuld af magi og eventyr, bogstavelig talt svæver ind i hjerterne på alle hun møder. Ikke mindst Jane og Michael, da hun bliver deres nye barnepige. De finder hurtigt ud af at Mary ikke er nogen helt almindelig barnepige, hun kan nemlig trylle, få ting til at flyve og elsker sjove lege! Men børnenes far, den strenge bankdirektør George Banks, bryder sig overhovedet ikke om Mary Poppins’ stil, ej heller fantasifulde og livlige børn!

It's 1910 and we're in Banbury church hall at the Banbury Intricate Craft Circle. Margaret has been to London and discovered the Women's Suffrage movement so she decides they need to set up their own movement and The Banbury Intricate Craft Circle becomes the hilariously ineffectual Banbury Intricate Craft Circle politely request women's Suffrage. Gwen is the only member who actually enjoys the craft element of the meetings, while Helen thinks that craft is a little unnecessary, but she's not interested in women's rights: "What on earth do women need a vote for? My husband votes for who I tell him to vote for. What could be a better system than that?"
