    1 9 9 5 – 2 0 0 3 (UK)
    29 x 30 minute episodes

    This ITV comedy starred Gwen Taylor who played Barbara Liversidge, a 52-year-old opinionated Yorkshirewoman, who ruled over her cabbie husband Ted (Sam Kelly) and nouveau-riche sister Jean (Sherrie Hewson) who was married to the simpering Phil (John Arthur).

    They lived in Pudsey, Leeds, West Yorkshire.

    Their twenty-something lovelorn son Neil (Benedict Sandiford) did very little, while their daughter, the long-suffering Linda (Elizabeth Carling) was married to Martin Pond (Mark Benton), a TV presenter with his own show (Pond Life) on a local TV channel.

    Barbara’s colleague at the doctor’s surgery was Doreen (Madge Hindle).
