    Very Clever, well written and well acted.

    I never really get the reasoning behind any sitcom replacing main characters with different actors midstream with no explanation, but this one is quite good in both iterations. Geoffrey Palmer is completely different than Peter Bowles acting wise, but they are both masterful. Penelope Keith is always flawless in her perfectly crisp comedic delivery. Very very well done and enjoyable. Now available streaming on Acorn.
