a a british working class person i have to say how disappointed i be of the review of this show . a i remember this be a laugh out loud programme . yes it be write in an american format ( like my family ) and but it be excellent and hysterically funny . basically barbara liversidge be not the easy woman to get along with . she make life hell for her poor husband ted . she have two child represent neil who have load of different girlfriend and linda who be marry to news reporter martin pond . her friend be jean and her husband phil and her work friend doreen . each episode of barbara be laugh out loud and probably the best itv sitcom in recent time . gwen taylor have be excellent a amy in duty free and sam kelly have be excellent a warren in porridge . the great mark benton be also excellent . there be so many classic episode of this and tragically it hasn not be release on dvd or vhs . what a wonderful dvd set could be make if they release all 4 series . best episode represent so many great but i be gon na have to go for represent valentine and series 3 episode 3 .
