And Mother Makes Three/Five: The Complete Series

This duo of sparkling Thames comedies provided an early hit for BAFTA-winning comedienne Wendy Craig, showcasing her talents as a harassed, well-meaning but scatterbrained young widow doing her best to bring up two rambunctious sons.

...And Mother Makes Three sees Sally Harrison not only keeping an eye on sons Simon and Peter but also conducting an on-off romance with antiquarian bookseller David Redway; …And Mother Makes Five hilariously charts Sally’s  continuing tribulations, as she and the boys adapt to sharing their life with David and his rather reserved daughter, Jane.

The combined casts include Tony Britton, Patricia Routledge and future Oscar winner David Parfitt, with several episodes written by Wendy Craig; both series are produced and directed by distinguished sitcom veteran Peter Frazer-Jones. This set brings together both complete series for the first time.
