This is often a forgotten Ronnie Barker series. I loved it, simple pleasant humour and a really loveable character. So much better than Open All Hours, which I cringe to watch.

Not remembered as one of Ronnie Barker's best series, probably because sadly it is lacking in that extra bit of depth in the central character to make us really care about him.

It's essentially a one joke idea, stretched thinly.

Forgettable sadly.

This was an excellent sitcom starring Ronnie Barker and Josephine Tewson. Whilst possibly not entirely 'politically correct' in these sensitive days it was a brilliant example of Ronnie Barkers work and a fitting end to a wonderful career. Sadly not yet available to own on DVD and I gather no plans to repeat on TV - what a shame for the many people who I'm sure have not yet seen this bit of Ronnie Barker magic. Ronnie Barkers observation and acting was as ever excellent and spot on, with very able assistance from Josephine Tewson. Hopefully a DVD release before too long - there are many less politically correct shows on TV nowadays - Little Britain being an obvious example.

This short lived little gem had a beautiful atmosphere, with two of Britains best loved sitcom actors. Gentle plots about a removal man and a maid making the best of things in the late 1930s in a country cottage. Never to be repeated it seems, possibly not pc enough for these days, but makes me smile just to think about it.

This was an excellent one-off series, starring Ronnie Barker and Josephine Tewson. Set in the late 1930s, it was a story about a short-sighted removals man and a house maid who move into a cottage together in the Oxfordshire countryside. This sitcom was funny, original and it's a shame that there were only six episodes made, and also that it was never repeated or made available on DVD or video. It makes a change to see a sitcom that doesn't reply on sex, violence and bad language to get a cheap laugh. If you ever get the chance to see it, do so. You won't regret it.
