Conjugal Rites

Does anyone else remember this ITV sitcom from 1993/94? It starred Gwen Taylor and Michael Williams as a married couple who were gradually drifting apart. It also featured a young Stephen Doyer who I'm led to believe is now in The Vampire Diaries.

I wrote a piece on it for my blog recently and went down to the BFI archive to watch a couple of episodes. I'd always remembered it being a fairly cosy sitcom, but I suppose I hadn't been aware of the more adult themes running through it. It wasn't packed full of laughs, but I thought the breakdown of the main characters relationship very interesting.

There's only a few very brief clips online and it never got a commercial release which is a shame as I think it was a pretty decent show.

I remember it well- the first episode was a classic but sadly it ran out of ideas.
