An American Authoress living in Chelsea, hires an English Butler by the name of Robert.
It's a smashing comedy, it's full of sharp one liners, witticisms and sarcastic remarks of the highest order. This intelligent comedy showcases the cultural differences between Brits and Americans (at the time,) and showcases the battle of the sexes.
The quality never dips, it's funny throughout, the best series for me, is the third, the show feels less studio bound, and often ventures outside, Buckingham Palace being one spot.
If I didn't know better I would have thought the earlier episodes were American made, it's not the typical British comedy, the laughs are generally more high brow, more subtle, but when they come, this show is side splitting.
You will see several familiar faces, my favourite guest turn is from Beryl Reid, she is a joy to watch, in one of the funniest episodes.
The two leads, what can I say, both are utterly tremendous, Stritch strikes me as just the loveliest, sweetest person, I adore her character. Sinden has the most remarkable timing, and those eyes tell a thousand stories. They combine amazingly well, you can see the relationship develop with time.
It's wonderful.
9/10.
