Fresh Fields - The Complete Fourth Series

William and Hester Fields have been very happily married for twenty years. Their children have flown the nest, and Hester thinks there are a still few things left to do between now and the pension book. With a renewed zest for life and a fresh dynamism in their relationship, she insists that the couple take up a number of new pastimes and challenges even if William sometimes lacks his wife's enthusiasm and seemingly boundless energy.

Starring Anton Rodgers as accountant William and Julia McKenzie as accomplished cook Hester, Fresh Fields' wry, gentle humour made it a firm favourite with viewers, spawning an equally popular sequel French Fields and earning McKenzie a BAFTA nomination for Best Light Entertainment Performance.

The series, which broadcast between 1984 and 1986, was produced and directed by sitcom veteran Peter Frazer-Jones (George & Mildred, After Henry), and written by John Chapman.

This DVD includes all 8 episodes from the show's fourth and final series.
