The pairing of Derek Nimmo and Nerys Hughes is the show's biggest stumbling block, but there are other problems, too.

Nimmo had a fair amount of success on radio and TV, most notably playing religious figures, who at that time (1970s and 80s) were easy targets for comedy. His shtick as a flustered, bumbling Englishman wandering in and out of trouble was very popular for a while.

While Nerys Hughes was equally as busy as an actress, she really found iconic status in the UK during her long tenured spot as Liver Bird, Sandra.

In 'Third Time Lucky' the writers have tried to pull threads of other, more successful sitcoms to create this generic crowd-pleaser but it misfires. By 1982, Britain had become a little bit fed up with middle class people with their middle class problems. Even 'The Good Life' went off the boil along with many others. This hackneyed attempt to keep the genre alive was misplaced, badly timed and too contrived.

It's a 'by the numbers' sitcom with nostalgic value only and the only other reason to watch this would be Nerys Hughes who is naturally attractive, sexy and funny in front of a camera.
