I stand corrected. My source only mentioned the first 7. But the character
was always written as a pompous twit. And as a foil for Bill Owen who was
the real star of the show. Although Marina was easy on the eyes. Bv)=

Wesley reminded me of some actual mechanics that I have known. And Dame
Thora Hird's character was the epitome of small town church ladies. Bv)=

MP> Indeed. I also liked her accent.
Just regular Lunnon East-end Cockney.

Good Neighbours (AKA "The Good Life") is available on FreeVee and Amazon's
Prie Video. You'll probably recognise one of the main characters, Penelope
Keith from the many other BritComs she's been in. Notably "Yes, Minister"
and "Yes, Prime Minister".
