Where to Start that has not already been said so Eloquently by other Reviewer's.
I was 11yrs Old when this was released and one of the few I surmise actually allowed to watch it in 1976 with my Mother and grandparents,They were Liberal folks,Must admit at the time I never understood the whole Scenarios shown on screen yet now seeing as I have the Full DVD Disc box set of both Series I thought I would relive some Nostalgia and fond Memories of watching this with my grand parents.
My first initial thoughts were I suppose pretty Shocked to say the least as in a Nutshell and in Layman's terms I could see the fascination of what was promoted back in the day yet also wax lyrical that the likes of this show would struggle to get any current air time in 2022 or Ever I suspect,Love thy Neighbour also springs to mind For the same reason,Bouquet was overall very well acted if not for the Silver Spoons that seem rammed in the Mouths of all the Actors involved I'm a Geordie So Listening to The Dialogue of the Middle Class era made me think Do Posh Well to do people actually Speak and go on like this. Maybe they do!!
The 70's Fashion made me Cringe yet it was the Bees Knees at the time,Even if Frank Finlay's Tie Knots Seemed Rather Huge as well as Trampling over todays Windsor Knots. Burtons Menswear must have got a lot of Suit Publicity!!
The Be all and End all is Eve seems the Only one who never slept with anyone.(I think Clive James Said that) Pru was the Most annoying Narcissistic Woman I have ever had the displeasure of Listening to with her mind games yet I was Surprised She was Killed off so soon and thus giving all the other actors more Scope to Season their Roles.
Sarah seemed the 70's Version of Being a Bit of a Bike but they were all at it regardless,Gavin I guess is the Male Version of Sarah who Seemed to Ride anything with a Pulse,Frank literally Just Fell Apart,but Being cast as a very intelligent Man with a thriving Business he took me as the Most Insecure and Mentally Retarded of the Lot.
Cassie fell into the same trap as everyone else Eventually Opening her legs at any opportunity for anyone showing her interest yet tried her best to keep things from falling apart.
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed Rewatching something that would be classed as far too Risqué Tv to be shown in todays PC Society Even if it Did Annoy the Life out of me at how Pathetic Some people were promoted in the Series.
Final Note:-Did anyone else take Freddie's look for being a 13yr old in a Suit Doing his utmost to grow Any kind of Moustache.
I also got the feeling he wanted a Go of Sarah😮 I'm sure She would have Accommodated him either way if he had Tried.
