Marvellous show!

Rare in that I find myself at least smiling through each episode.

When you look at when it was made it's amazing to think how they got away with it..... and whether they would today.

just finished these on iPlayer (with the obligatory "will offend" warning), fairly consistently good. The comic timing between them is great. The kind of thing that is of its time but was still well written, no way it would get made today!

Also when I was in London a few years ago I went to the house they used for exterior filming.

I just love this show! One of my favorites! Good acting, funny script and it’s also very addictive show. Kathy Burke is amazing. The funniest episode for me is when Linda gets the job in the factory. Watched it through tv shows torrent sites. No matter how many times I watch this show repeated, it always makes me laugh. It’s also great for those who loved “Carry on” or “Girls on Top”.

All I remember was she was walking down the street in very colourful clothes and the bloke running behind her, but they filmed it over and over again.

She probably kept letting him catch her.
