G&M a comedy of sorts, T& J an embarrassment. Terry Scott was a cunt of a man, the show a lazy reactionary load of shit

G&M - always rushed to switch this off;
T&J - indifferent to it.
Not sure which is the winner here - is it better to be hated or ignored?
So long as no rocks are thrown

Brian Murphy and Yootha Joyce we’re part of Joan Littlewood’s company. Saw them many a time at the Theatre Royal in Stratford East. Hate adding the East but some people think of the “other” Stratford

Don't be silly, Coffers.
Presumably they were travelling together for some kind of engagement.

Sheila Fearn was unattractively stunning I thought. Terry and June had Terry taking up pastimes with the best intentions getting thrashed by a 12 year old at snooker having an eyeball with a toilet cleaner with June being his long suffering wife. Arthur's one liners toward olive were a big part of the show. The last series 7 without Michael Robbins was really poor.

I find it quite strange that George & Mildred was really popular in Europe, particularly Italy and Spain. Spanish TV companies even sent crews over to film the two leads for commercials.

The actress who played Ann Fourmile (Tristan’s mum) also played Terrys sister in the Likely lads which was another excellent sitcom of its time.

Seems he is still knocking about at 87
Yootha Joyce (Mildred) died an alcoholic at 53
Probably didn’t help that she at one time was married to Dave ( the barman at the Winchester ) from Minder.

Yes, on reflection I think you must be right, Sven. I only saw a few episodes of G&M and may have been reacting to the actor's 'vibe' rather than the character.

Yes. He was the golden boy recruit but when the guns started firing he ran away

I thought George was sometimes a bit creepy around the girls upstairs and thought there was an episode where he had some ‘girlie’ mags.
When Robin first moved in they pretended he was gay as he was sharing with girls but don’t remember George reacting to that.
Just seemed to be a comedy TROPE of the time. Hen pecked sexually inadequate husband.

Because George was a bit camp, I always assumed the unspoken hint was that he was a closet homosexual.

Sven son.
Is that the episode where George n Jack found the geezer crying in the phone box?
Excellent stuff either way.

Re: George & Mildred v Terry & June

Was it ever explained in Man About The House or George & Mildred why George was so reluctant to respond to the sexual interest of Mildred who always appeared a bit of a GOER?
More understandable with Arthur & Olive in On The Buses but what was George’s problem?
Notice that in Man About The House Norman Eshley appeared in an early episode as one character and then came back as Robins brother & married Chrissie.
He was next seen in George & Mildred as the next door neighbour Jeffrey married to another woman.
Was only thinking of him as was watching an episode of The Sweeney last week where he joins the team and cracks up like a big poof

This is not even a comparison, ffs. Do it property Leonard or remain silent.
