    1 9 8 3 (UK)
    6 x 30 minute episodes

    41-year-old Helen Walker (Penelope Keith) runs a large building firm which her deceased husband had built and managed successfully for many years.

    The attractive young widow is in a semi-serious relationship with the company architect Peter Morgan (Christopher Villiers) – a man 16 years her junior – and becomes pregnant with his child.

    Deciding that they do, quite probably, love each other they decide to get married but issues between the two arise due to their age difference.

    The BBC comedy series received very mixed reviews and lasted only six episodes.
