The Upper Hand - The Complete Second Series

The Upper Hand was the British version of long-running American sitcom Who's The Boss?. Taking over the Tony Danza role was Joe McGann as former football player Charlie Burrows. On his uppers, Charlie landed a job as housekeeper and 'nanny' for businesswoman and single mom Caroline Wheatley (Diane Weston). Also on hand were Charlie's daughter Joanna (Kellie Bright), Caroline's son Tom (William Puttock) and her own spunky mum Laura West (played by former Avengers star Honor Blackman). By the time the series had run its course, Charlie and Caroline were husband and wife.

This release includes the 12 episodes from the second series.

First released: Monday 10th May 2010
