    It reminds me of a "Steptoe and Son" episode where Harold comes home early to find his Father dressed as a woman. His father confesses he's been posing as his late wife for many years to claim a pension. The plot then gets more complicated (of course) when he admits to claiming child benefits for his non-existent daughter.
