Plot

Perplexed and unmarried Laura and sweet but inept Mike form an unlikely union after meeting. Despite differences and lack of chemistry, an undefinable connection keeps the stubborn Laura and grinning Mike together.

British sitcom about the simple relationship between Mike (Michael Williams) and Laura (Dame Judi Dench), two fairly unlikely individuals who come together and form an unmarried union. Nearing 40, Laura appears perplexed most of the time; Mike sports a perpetual grin. They first meet during a party at the insistence of Laura's younger sister Helen (Susan Penhaligon), and Mike's sweet, inept, and endearing character sparks something in the bossy, stubborn, big-softy Laura. They never quite hit it off, but something is there that keeps them together.—Len Massaar
