Back in the mid-eighties my local PBS station used to broadcast a British sitcom which I loved and sort of got addicted to at the time, but can’t for the life of me remember the names and such.
The details are thus: Via clothes and stuff I’m pegging it as taking place in the mid 70’s. The main charactor is a bored, eccentric, middleclass housewife (that sure narrows it down, huh?). She’s tall and lanky and sort of severe-looking and had blonde hair in that mushroomy looking style Peggy Fleming made so popular. She’s married to a dentist who’s idea of good music is Gregarian chants. She has two grown boys – Adam and Rupert I think.
The whole theme of the series was that she almost, but not quite, has an affair with a lonely rich man whom she connects with on a mental level – it’s actually not as tawdry as it sounds, and I recall it was kind of charming.
Any guesses?
