My Wife Next Door
Description
These divorcees tried to get away from it all, especially each other, but their fresh starts are beginning to look suspiciously like their old ones… When George and Suzy Bassett (John Alderton and Hannah Gordon) finalise their divorce, they’re both eager for a new start in life. When they both decide to relocate to the countryside however, they are appalled to discover that they have accidentally moved into neighbouring cottages! The hilarious BAFTA winning sitcom was inspired by the rising divorce rates following the sexual liberations of the 1960s. Former BBC Broadcast Executive Sir Bill Cotton once cited My Wife Next Door as evidence that with the right treatment, any subject could be made funny. According to The Guardian the series made the concept of divorce watchable by treating the couple with affection and respect. Also featuring Diana King (The Very Merry Widow, Shillingbury Tales), Mollie Sugden (Are You Being Served?) and Richard Waring (Not in Front of the Children), the series was created by the great Brian Clemens OBE (The Avengers, The Professionals) and written by Richard Waring (Not in Front of the Children, And Mother Makes Three) Won the 1973 BAFTA for Best Situation Comedy Series Stars John Alderton (Please, Sir!) Created by Brian Clemens OBE (The Avengers (1961), The Professionals) Includes guest stars William Franklyn, Mollie Sugden and ‘Dad’s Army’ star James Beck
