    not what I thought it would be

    I heard that Anton Rodgers(from the classic "Fresh Fields") was in this show and tuned in. He plays a solicitor who meets and falls for a younger woman. His daughter and friends freak over the match. The variest shows tell how they continue to date, avoid pitfalls, and try to cope with his snobby daughter and friends.

    All this was handled with realism and taste. You may not agree with a May-December romance, but you really feel for these two and understand what people go through in this situation, plus the characters on this show are FUNNY! So if you see it on your PBS channel, tune in and enjoy.

    Good, clean fun!!

    My family and I have enjoyed this series for years, ever since it was airing on PBS. We would all really love to see it on DVD. All of the characters, (even the twits) are endearing and likable. And not in a sickly or overly-sweet way. They are enjoyable to watch and easy to care about. Even the switch in actresses for the character of Zoe didn't affect how well the show flowed. While the two actresses were very different and played the character quite differently, I could never say one was superior to the other. They were both great, in my opinion. The humor was some of the best I've watched on any program, understated and sharp, intensely clever and very true.

    Brilliant writing

    Very well written, well filmed and excellent casting apart from last series. It opens brilliantly with Eve Matheson and Clive Francis leaving far too early

    Classic comment

    The secrectary pleayed by the lovely Rebecca Lacey - and she said to Miss Flood in one episode Hell have no fury like a woman's corns Instead of Woman Scorned hilarious

    It was a delightful comedy and as as been said - a great shame that it is not available on DVD - Miss flood trying desperately to get her young secrectary into line and to behave as one should and Zoe trying to get her man up to date with life -

    The Garfudge - i.e. the garage in an advertisement for a house that they were buying was typical gentle humour

    Another classic comment - How can I have any pride when I support Partick Thislte

    Lovely series

    Near perfect but Eve Matheson was superb as Dunlop wasn't quite there. When Lacey left it nailed the series as Jenson is so bad Clive Francis as Henty was also huge loss as the character was brilliant

    • Trivia
      Art seems to imitate life for Anton Rodgers. His second wife was 24 years his junior, while Zoe Angel was 27 years younger than Alec Callender!
    • Quotes

      Hilary: Me uncle went out with a girl half his age.

      Vera Flood: Oh, did it work out?

      Hilary: No. Me auntie found him and brought him home.

    • Crazy credits
      Each episode is named after a song. Most are from musicals, which both Alec and Zoë enjoy, and some later ones are 1950s-60s popular songs.
