Featured review
A nice start to a fondly remembered sitcom
Sarah discovers via her mother and the geriatric grapevine, that Clare's been seeing an older man, tennis coach and seducer Nick. Sarah goes to talk with Nick, expressing concerns over the age gap, but a curve ball is thrown when Nick invites Sarah for a drink.
A much loved sitcom starts off in fairly safe, sober fashion. Looking at it again I'm struck by just how wonderfully middle classes it is, each character is beautifully spoken.
Peter Blake seems oddly cast as Nick, well known for playing Kirk At Moritz in Sorry. Joan Sanderson steals this opener with her caustic comments as Eleanor.
It contains a few laughs, but mostly this one sets the scene, were given the living arrangements of the three generations. We learn more about Sarah, she's 42, and recently widowed. Best of all we learn that Eleanor is a nosy gossip.
