Robin's Nest

Dec 202

Just stumbled across every episode of Robins Nest" being on ITVX and given that i hadnt seen them since when then were first on tv 40-45 years ago, it was a chance to catch up. This is a offshoot of Man about the House, as was George and MIldred for that matter.

I have quite recently re-watched the full series of both Man about the house and George and Mildred, so glad to have the opportunity to catch up on this.

It is of course of its time and was not bad, most of the comedy comes from David Kellys character, so it would of struggled without him.

I found it grew on me as i watched a few episodes. There were some things i didnt like though , there were 4 different titles sequences which were all bad as was the theme music. I also found it odd at the start of series 2 that the kitchen sink had moved, by itself apparently. Also there were 2 episodes involving Inspector Burke from the Police, but in the 2nd episode it was as though they had forgotten his name as Inspector Burke kept calling another policeman by the surname Burke. Also it turns out that by the end of series 4 that is supposed to only be 1 year gone since the start of episode 1 series 1.

Like i said of its time, but decent so 7 chef hats out of 10.
