You have done yourself a great disservice, Jack. George & Mildred is by far the best of the three! It's a pity that you caught the lesser 2 and that they put you off.
George & Mildred Page 3
Well hopefully ITV 3 will get me into it.

Hear, hear !
(in reply and cleverly linking to another thread!

Id rate it second to MATH. Richard Chrissy and Sally (+Doug) had some great scenes, and the Ropers blended with it. Putting Yootha and Brian alone needed the Fourmiles next door to be added, which lost a few humour opportunities in my opinion. Butthat's a minor thing - I love Man About the House and George and Mildred - my personal all time favourite comedies.
...And theres a book out on both in a July! 
But no Robin's Nest? I hope you're going to send me a copy. For, you know, reviewing. And publicising. And that.
Robin's Nest is featured, but not as much as the other two. 
Mainly because the first two are the most fondly remembered, secondly because space was running out in the book
Only got pdf copy of it at the moment, as it hasnt gone to press yet, but you can review one of 'em if you want
Can't I get a hard copy? They're much nicer for my collection easier to read.
Saw an episode on Dutch TV while on holiday a few years and I still found it very funny. Many may recall the episode where Mildred accidently gives George's box of "gardening magazines" to the vicar's jumble sale.
Jumble Pie - Series 2, episode 1.
Mildred: George, were they very rude?
George: Well they were.... not really that.... I supp.. Yes they were rude Mildred!
:lol:

What sort of art books George?
Didn't realise Norman Eshley who played Jeffery in G and M, played Robin's brother in Man About The House.

He was also in an earlier episode trying to chat up Chrissy

I have bought the DVDs of George & Mildred, still enjoy it now...
Loved this show from when I was young. George has at least two fantastic moments each episode, which is enough to keep me watching. He and Yootha Joyce worked fantastically well together.
