Sandra in New Tricks. Her confidence in every area except her immediate family, coupled with her approachability and willingness to stand up for truth and justice resonated in me.
If anyone, I think I relate to Barbara in The Good Life - you know, make do and mend, gardening and all the domestic stuff, even though I loathe dusting.
