The program is for adults. Don't be fooled when I say this. It is not smutty or dirty in anyway. It is a thoughtful program that is touching and quite sad at times. One feels oneself sighing a lot as one watches it. I really enjoyed this program. It had such a sadness about it and captured the boredom that so many folks like Ria had suppressed for years. Her children were suitably hopeless creatures. The signature tune captured the mood of the program perfectly. If only the sitcoms of today matched the level of enterprise of this show. If only writers, directors, producers etc KNEW of this program, perhaps we would not get so much garbage on TV today. Wendy Craig and the rest of the cast were excellent, but this is to be expected since they are all professionals.
