I have long wanted to see this again, so was delighted to see it on You Tube to buy for £2.99.
Every bit as good as I remembered, with Alison Steadman as a superb Beverly, and Janine Duvitski as an excellent Ange.

Have it on DVD & watch it every so often.
Still makes me smile.

Me too!

It’s toe curling really isn’t it? You just feel so embarrassed for Abigail. Man mad, sneers at her husband, unhappy, thinks she’s god’s gift. A mess really.

She's called Beverley, not Abigail.

Yes, Abigail is the teenager who’s having a party a few doors away, I think Sue is the Mum at Bev’s cheese and wine do?
Bev is awful and Ange is cringeworthy.I only saw this about ten years ago, it was brilliant in its toe curling way.😁

Have you watched any of Mike Leigh' other stuff?
They're all quite dark, and toe curling.

Are he and Alison Steadman a real life couple, or have I made that up?
I should Google it, I suppose.

It's brilliant and hilarious until the last moments .
The casting is spot on and I know someone just like Alison Steadman's character .
