Oh I did enjoy this programme!

There was a line in it where Wendy Craig was going on about the news and mentioned some idiot crossing the Atlantic on a bread board.

Laughed my head off at the time and even now I remember it occasionally and it still makes me laugh.

I was quite young when it aired, or naive probably and never really understood the relationship she had with the nice man at the park.

Thanks, I love it too.
I was always told I was Wendy Craig's double.

From Monday at 6 pm on Drama ( 20 ) they are showing "Butterflies "for the first time in years. I loved this programme , probably because we had teenagers ourselves at the time , and every time I hear Barber's Adagio for Strings I think of the sad bits when Rhea met with her male friend and had to walk away . I hope we still enjoy it as much as the reruns of "Yes Minister " which we are watching for the umteenth time .
