Proctor runs Albery, a hugely successful glazing firm, a driven professional, who doesn't know the word 'no,' a man who has everything. He shocks everyone when he announces that he's about to retire, his team ponder who will replace him, Proctor turns to his nephew Duggan, an inexperienced youth, who's taken a shine to his fiancée Carol.
One of those shows that I had recorded onto a VHS, but never got around to watching, 23 years is a long time to wait.
I think it's fair to say it's very much of its time, it's a very slick and glossy looking series, a wonderful cast and a story that does take you back a few decades.
Perhaps a little too much here and there, it's full of clichés and over the top twists, but it is entertaining, it did keep my attention.
Hard to define, a melodrama with comedy hints, sometimes it feels like a soap opera, but there are some shocks, mainly in the final two episodes.
A cracking cast, notable for being one of John Thaw's final roles, Sarah Lancashire and Joe McFadden are both really good in their roles.
I think I can understand why it's never had a commercial release in The UK, I'm thankful to Talking Pictures, once again!
6/10.
