Featured review
Love this series
I agree with Ben Spencer - I lived in Leicester for some time in 1981, and while it's obvious Adrian is a local a lot of the other accents on the show sounded just wrong - not Midlands at all. Glad it was not just me that thought this.
However this series is a classic gem. The characters are brilliant - Bert, Queenie, Grandma, and the parents. It captures that time in Britain just beautifully.
I am buying a copy of the DVD as all I have is an old video. Recommend this show - at least 8 out of 10.
