Berkeley Square (1998)
Worthy of Continuation - Even After 25 Years
Highly enjoyable. I binge-watched but like most reviewers was upset by the lack of resolution at the end of the series. So I was interested to read suzannevdv-16557 's comment that she and Deborah Cook had more stories up their sleeves for a second series. Is there any chance these could be published as a novel, or perhaps an audio drama could be produced? Some great work is being done in this field now.
I think this series would be enjoyed by Downton Abbey fans, but also viewers of Call The Midwife, since it focusses on the lives of women working with children as well as highlighting social issues of the day - with a bit of romance thrown in. A winning formula!
Pleasure at Her Majesty's (1976)
Precious record of comedy legends
Gets more and more enjoyable the further into the future we hurtle (RIP TBT most recently) although I take the points about the annoyance of breaking up the sketches and not everything being included. I like seeing behind the scenes with these talented and funny people. Nowadays we'd have the whole show filmed, from all the angles, and all the backstage bits as endless dvd extras, but this was the 70s (and a new type of event) so we have to understand the gaps.
Apparently, The Goodies also performed 'Funky Gibbon' in Stone Age-style fake fur outfits during a lull in this event. I have indeed seen a photo of them adopting 'gibbon' poses in said outfits - it looks staged for publicity rather than taken during the show. I'd love to find the source.
