Rich Tea & Sympathy: The Complete Series

Following on from his enormous success in A Bit of a Do, David Nobbs (Reggie Perrin) created Rich Tea and Sympathy, a story of love and politics. Starring Patricia Hodge (Jemima Shore Investigates) as Labour-voting single mother Julia Merrygrove and Dennis Quilley (Privates on Parade) as pro-Tory widower and biscuit manufacturer George Rudge, this typically bitter-sweet Nobbs comedy concentrated not only on their growing relationship but also on those of their surrounding family, which includes a number of awful children and a snooker-addicted Granny (Jean Alexander - Coronation Street).
