Brilliant cross between drama and black humour
11 July 2012
I first saw this series in the 1980s and it was brilliant! Featuring a cast of well-known actors like Dennis Waterman, Malcolm Terris and Tom Baker, it is the story of how a flustered and frustrated accountant becomes bored with his overweight, unattractive and lazy wife to have an affair with a beautiful and talented novelist (Mary Fisher). Rather than take it on the chin, his wife changes her way of living to embark on a trail of destruction on Bobo's world in order to get him back into her life. Wallace is an amazing and credible actress, and it is a shame that she is not recognised more in the acting world. This film is both a satirical look at popular culture as well as a chilling lesson as to what consequences can erupt as a result of committing one of the worst sins of all: adultery. As the Bible clearly states "Hell has no fury like a woman scorned".
