[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 335406, member: 23"] I loved this back in the latter half of the Eighties. It used to air here on a Sunday teatime if I'm remembering correctly. The cast chemistry was pretty good and I enjoyed the will they/won't they premise. I had no idea it was still being made in the Nineties. It seemed to drop off the radar in the UK once the British remake began in its prime time slot circa 1990, I'm assuming this was intentional. The ITV network aired both shows and I'm sure they didn't want[I] Who's The Boss?[/I] repeats undermining their new series. Even though the premise - and I think many of the scripts and stories - was identical to the American version, [I]The Upper Hand [/I]felt like quite a different animal. It seemed a bit more refined and restrained (I may be wrong. I haven't seen [U]that[/U] series in around three decades either) and I enjoyed it in a different kind of way. The remake - with Honor Blackman in the "Mona" role - did well and went on to produce almost a hundred episodes over seven series.
