After To the Manor Born, this is Penelope Keith's best series. The balance between comedy, pathos and relationships between the grandparents and the grandchildren is excellent.
In particular, the growth of the relationships as the series progresses is very natural and at times achingly funny.
Some people cannot grasp the humor stemming from a serious subject, but the characters here are real. Most families are NOT like The Waltons!
Give it a shot if comes on PBS again. If only it had run longer and there were more episodes.
