At a time when puerile pap like On The Buses or Love Thy Neighbour were what passed for humour on British TV this stood out like good taste on any Jonathan Ross programme. Soundly based on the premise that opposites attract it set Elaine Stritch's hip, wise-cracking dry martini wit yank against Donald Sinden's archetypal Englishman, stood back and let them get on with it. Okay, lots of Sinden's one-liners were Noel Coward wannabees just as Stritch's were not-quite Neil Simon but like the dog walking on two legs it was the fact that British TV attempted it at all that was fascinating. For the record it was, on the whole, more than watchable and one episode worth the entire multi-episode On The Buses. Worth catching on DVD.
