I'd actually never heard of this show until I saw the dvd of season 3 going (fairly) cheap and thought it may be worth a look, then when I saw the cast & writers my expectations grew. As it was made in 1970 it's very much of its time and it bears similarities to other shows which followed it it's wake, such as Reggie Perrin which leaped to mind as Ronnie Corbett works in an office, Commutes by train, Has an overbearing mother in law etc. I loved the 2 Ronnies but I wasn't a huge fan of Corbett's solo stuff (like Sorry, which I thought was awful) but this is pretty good and worthy of at least a glance, if you can find it. Would like to see the first 2 seasons if they ever turn up!
