[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 239586, member: 23"] [I]No - Honestly[/I] came to an end this evening. It's been a fun little ride. And Pauline Collins in particular has been just wonderful. So funny in every quirky scene. A favourite of the latter run of episodes was Clara taking up work as an extra in the penultimate episode. C. D. is an actor anyway, so she asked him to help her with a role play. And he suggested she was a good time girl in the old West. Pauline did this hilariously exaggerated side to side move with her hips as she walked then said "Hello sailor". When C..D. scoffed and reminded her this was the old West, she simply said "Hello sailor" again, but with an American accent. You had to be there, but Pauline's delivery had me laughing out loud. Familiar faces in latter episodes included Aunt Lucy from [I]Happy Ever After [/I]as Clara's auntie (what else?) and [I]Corrie's[/I] Johnny Briggs as a car thief. I've really enjoyed the series, and found myself feeling sorry there weren't more made. The ending was even acknowledged in the "to camera" spiel at the end, which makes me think everyone was aware there would be no more. Both were doing [I]Wodehouse Playhouse [/I]for the BBC, which aired later in the year, so perhaps this is the reason. I wonder if [I]that[/I] series is available on DVD. It looks interesting.
