Definitely 'classic English 1970s sitcom' and you'd never guess the gritty backstory from that episode. Thank you for sharing it AND the London Weekend theme.

The recording was made on 22 June - by coincidence that would have been on her 44th birthday (assuming Wikipedia is accurate)

Dominic, thank you so much for sharing this little gem. I have always had the greatest respect for Prunella and her wonderful acting and performances. I shall deeply miss her and her husband, Timothy. Some of my favourite viewing moments came from their series of canal journeys, the love and tenderness between them shone through . It was sad to watch dementia take hold of her, but she still persevered despite the difficulties. You are very lucky to have had such personal connection with her and such stories to recount. I will treasure this delightful episode from her career and I'm sure it will bear repeat viewing.

Once again, deepest thanks.
