Network Releasing No Honestly: The Complete Series DVD English

This gentle, romantic sitcom stars the real-life partnership of Pauline Collins and John Alderton as a couple recounting the eventful earlier years of their married life together. Written by another highly successful husband-and-wife team – Terence Brady and Charlotte Bingham – the series’ novel formula, with each episode’s events unfolding in flashback form, was an instant hit with viewers on its original screening in 1974, spawning a sequel, Yes Honestly, and a Top Ten hit for Lynsey De Paul’s theme song.

Clara and Charles Danby revisit several key moments from their courtship and marriage of ten years. Clara is now a successful children’s author, while Charles, affectionately known as ‘CD’ (‘Clever Drawers’), is an established actor. But life wasn’t always this comfortable for the Danbys; early days saw the couple struggling to make ends meet as their fledgling careers seemed to founder, and Clara’s choice of husband caused a little unease for her aristocratic family. However, the combination of Clara’s oddly compelling logic and CD’s eternal optimism saw them through those unsteadier times – and would they really have wished it otherwise?
