Editorial Review:
Description:
Geoffrey Palmer (As Time Goes By, Mrs. Brown) and Wendy Craig (The Forsyte Saga) star in this distinctive BBC series. Funny and poignant, the story revolves around a housewife frustrated by life with her detached husband and glib sons, and by her own dismal failure to master even the boring and repetitive tasks at hand. As a handsome admirer pursues her, she guiltily flits from her real life to this exciting distraction like a butterfly aware that its time is running out. Created by prolific Britcom writer Carla Lane (The Liver Birds, Bread). Includes the Christmas special.

Picture quality is not as good as it should or could be, but maybe because of the time it was produced (1970's) it couldn't be reproduced to enhance the quality??? Otherwise, I am enjoying this DVD.
Rating:  - The Best Britcom Season Two
The private hell of Rhea Parkinson continues. She has a loving husband, who is rather boring and two grown sons who keep her in constant flux. Add to this a millionaire who is infatuated with her.
Season Two has eight 30 minute episodes on two discs. The episodes shown on PBS were only 28 minutes.
Disc One:
Episode 1 - Adam has been dumped by his girlfriend Annie and is in a funk over it. Now the family must get him up again. But remember that no matter how bad ... Read More
Rating: - Hilarious and Thoughtful
I had never heard of this series, but I recognized Geoffrey Palmer from one of my favorite Britcoms "As Time Goes By". Although this series is from the 70's it still seems relevant and is very entertaining. I adore Ria's rants about the boredom of being a housewife. Her flirtations with Leonard are cute and touching. Both Ria and Leonard deal with feelings of life passing by much too quickly and whether or not they are living it to their fullest.
