    Nobody’s Perfect

    Facebook Twitter Pinterest WhatsApp Reddit Email

    1 9 8 0 – 1 9 8 2 (UK)
    14 x 30 minute episodes

    This 30-minute comedy series from London Weekend Television revolved around Sam Hooper (Richard Griffiths) and his wife Bill (Elaine Stritch, the American actress who formerly starred in Two’s Company).

    In classic British sitcom style, Sam and Bill had just the sort of family and friends to ensure everything went wrong.

    Not to be confused with the short-lived American crime-fighting comedy starring Ron Moody as English detective Roger Hart, which was also titled Nobody’s Perfect but screened as Hart Of The Yard in the UK.

    This is what they promised us when I was a kid. What happened? 

All I have is 700 channels of rubbish on the TV in High Def, TikTok, Facebook and a phone I can take photographs with . . .

    Ironically, this post has jumped off the page at me. You'll probably get most traffic today because everyone will want to see what they might be missing!
