    A brilliant much under-rated sitcom

    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.

    Hidden gem

    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.

    Loved it...

    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.

    Sadly This is a Forgotten Gem!

    This sitcom is hardly ever repeated and also only lasted a short time of episodes 1 series.

    Josephine Tewson before hand teamed up in the Two Ronnies which Ronnie was part of,and the chemistry between them on screen was absolutely superb.

    Clarence on the other hand is a small sitcom in length that is really a superb one.It is about a short sighted removal man whos escapades provides laughs.

    It is a must see! Pray and hope a DVD release occurs soon!

    Not one of the better Ronnie Barker sitcoms

    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.
