The perfect sitcom, still.
I’m my opinion this sitcom has never been better. Flawless writing, perfectly cast, just sad there were so few episodes!

wonderful nostalgic fun
Had me laughing out loud.
Remembering the original TV series it was wonderful to listen again.
Clever scripts and fine actors made this a classic comedy series.

Very enjoyable
Listening to this series took me back to being a teenager watching the programme on TV. I could even visualise what was happening. Good clean fun.

As Good as it gets.
Grew up watching this series on television.
I personally remember so many of the episodes so that was an added bonus.
Penelope Keith aka Margo setting the scene with her descriptions at the beginning and a timely parts throughout each episode made it all come alive in my minds eye.
Appreciate that this would not appeal to all and certainly not if you had not seen the TV series, but that’s just a misfortune for the younger generation.
