This is a very funny series that I first started watching on PBS. I like enough to want to see the rest of the series. One of the things that I really like about DVDs is that you can see the shows in order and no commercials. In a nutshell, a couple that were separated by the Korean War when a letter was lost. They had no way to contact each other. A chance meeting 38 years later reunites them. There is a cast of outrageous characters. This is a great wacky Brit sitcom. Geoffrey Palmer has great timing. Judi Dench shows that she has a full range of acting ability. This is the middle of the run. The couple are not dealing with the problems of being middle aged newlyweds.
I am hooked. This is what television is all about. Great story telling with humor. The writing, acting and directing are all outstanding. We have two older people who meet 38 years later after have been separated and start life anew. We see all the foibles of marriage and family, told with humor, but never silliness. While watching this my wife and I were wondering about outtakes and decided there are propably none. These two actors are so into their characters that any mistakes are probably picked upon and run with. They are so natural and believable. None of the humor is forced or artificial. None of the lines are written with the attitude of "this will get a laugh." I can't wait for the remaining seasons to arrive.
It's a good comedy show.
