[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 103372, member: 27"] Another Britcom I absolutely adored. :) I think a lot of what attracted me to this series' writing style is that it would never have been produced in the US. In the US, producers would tell Carla Lane she needed to "punch it up with more jokes" (sitcom) or make it into a drama and cut out the sense of humor entirely. Even today, network execs don't understand that life has both drama and comedy in equal measures. Unlike the rather ubiquitous Palmer, I don't think I've seen Wendy Craig in anything since. I look forward to your trip down memory lane. [/QUOTE]
