    12 x 30 minute episodes

    Martha (Susan Hampshire in her first television sitcom) and Daniel Ford (Keith Barron) are both 40. They have a nice home and two nice children, Gina (Lucy Aston) and Matthew (Gary Cady).

    Now, after 20 years of marriage, they have decided they should part – but remain friends.

    Unfortunately, they discover that inanimate objects – their possessions – are suddenly a barrier to the harmony they hoped to establish.

    Richard Vernon co-starred as Mr Chessington, the solicitor.

    This BBC2 series – written by Carla Lane – returned for a second set of six new episodes in May 1985.

    Keith Barron died in November 2017, aged 83.
