Oh the golden days of British comedy.
Richard Briers not long out of one the best 'The Good Life' plays someone completely different as Martin Bryce. Martin has OCD and feels threatened by the confident neighbour Paul played admirably by the versatile Peter Egan and beautiful Penelope Wilton. I think everyone watching at the time were willing her to run off with Paul. In real life she would have done.
Today he would be labeled a control freak and the W brigade wouldn't like him but I did.
What is really good about it is it the reflection of Britain in the eighties, no mixed marriages crammed in to tick a box. British people as they were back then just before the invasion started and the W brigade didn't exist.
Before political correctness was more important than making us laugh.
