⭐ Featured Review

slow but enjoyable
by Gaslog2022-02-01
7/10

"While most of the episodes are slow moving, I enjoy Patricia much more in this series than in Keeping Up Appearances, where her character got increasingly annoying. These type British series are far superior to the bland Hallmark Mysteries series with their model perfect casts and boring stories...."

Patricia Routledge revealed in 2008 that the BBC had abruptly axed the series, despite it performing well in the ratings. She stated that the corporation was being "run by children" and never acted in any BBC television productions after the show ended in 1998.
