Romance never quirkier - jolly fine wit
Amazing plot writing of multiple humorous thread-coincidences that culminates in one final hilarious finale. Extreme absurdity is part of the comic fun. Fantastic writing offsets the mid-80s aspects, so watch it as 80s period comedy and enjoy. So over-the-top ridiculous it causes belly-laugh aches. If your humor capacity is not currently warped, this show will do it. Warped in a fun way. 16 episodes were the beginning of writing careers of Andrew Norriss & Richard Fegen. Wife & I laughed hard, we'll watch it again.
Tom Chance (Simon Callow) speaks in fragment sentences while being in the wrong place, bad time. Speaks like a Dickens's character and/or like a 21st century texter. Alison Little (Brenda Blethyn- `Vera') is a stone lighter with an innocence of voice like Downton Abbey's Daisy, and voice and charm of Upstairs, Downstairs' Sarah. The show is loaded with guest stars, many in their pre-stardom days.
SDH SUBTITLES for all 18 episodes.
Season 1,...
British Humor
This really made us laugh but we finally gave up because of the constant use of the abuse of animals which is surprising for the Brits.
A little dated but still funny
Frankly the premise is wonderful and situations hilarious. Makes you wish someone would update this series. Could be British or American. I almost didn't recognize Callow as the larger than life Scot in Four Weddings. What else of his have I missed?
