Alison (Maureen Lipman) and Jack (John Flanagan of Parkin’s Patch fame) Holmes were a contrasting couple.
She was industrious and talented – unlike her husband, who was a jobless dreamer whose schemes for making money were constantly thwarted despite his self-assurance.
Peter Skellern provided the music and even turned up in one episode, as did the actor Chris Jagger, brother of Mick.
