Dear Ladies

Dear Ladies is a quite wonderful BBC sitcom, made at a time when the BBC knew how to make a sitcom, provide escapism, and knew how to make us laugh.

The series focuses on the goings on at Utopia Ltd, a country cottage, home to Dame Hilda Bracket and Doctor Evadne Hinge, set in the quirky fictional village of Stackton Tressel.

Patrick Fyffe and George Logan are just magical as the comedy duo. Their delivery is flawless, the situations always hilarious, it is just feel good comedy. For me, the biggest enjoyment comes from Dame Hilda's constant jibes towards Evadne, always putting her down, in the most wonderful, caustic manner. I always love the phone calls to Teddy, and the subsequent acid remarks towards poor Peggy.

My DVD's are so overplayed I should consider investing in a second set, it doesn't matter on my mood, this duo always make everything seem so much better, a vision of a gentler, more simple life.

Classic comedy, 10/10
