    It's Awfully good fun Dahlingg

    This short lived sitcom from 1971 is a great snapshot of the era, much in the vein of Casanova 73. Four young trendy girls share a flat in Swinging London. Each were wealthy and from well to do backgrounds but they still encountered problems such as paying the rent and avoiding the landlord, a never ending stream of dates (good and bad) and interference from their parents. The 4 flatmates consisted of Joanna Lumley playing Samantha Ryder-Ross, 'The sexy one' who had a habit of unselfconsciously wandering around the flat semi clothed, Jane as Gillian Page Wood, known as 'Pudding' because of her love of food who was 'the sensible one', Elizabeth Knight as Clover Mason 'the scatty one' and lastly the character of Virginia played by Jennifer Croxton . Also appearing regularly was the character of Bobby Dutton, played by Jeremy Lloyd, who was briefly married to Joanna Lumley for a few months the year before. The Joanna Lumley character seemed to be an early version of Patsy in Absolutely Fabulous. I have vague memories of the series when it went out and refreshed my memory by watching the sole surviving episode recently and I quite enjoyed it - Much of it's time but a good watch.
