 Network to release A FINE ROMANCE – THE COMPLETE SERIES BOXSET (PG)

 

 

 

Will-they-won’t-they couple Mike Selway and Laura Dalton (played by real-life husband and wife Michael Williams and Dame Judi Dench) struggle with the dating game in this hugely successful ITV1 sitcom. Originally broadcast between 1981 and 1984, Network is proud to announce the release of A FINE ROMANCE – THE COMPLETE SERIES BOXSET, which contains all four series, on 16th October 2006. A FINE ROMANCE THE COMPLETE FOURTH SERIES will also be released on the same day. 

 

When introduced at a party by her sister, Laura (Dame Judi Dench – Mrs Henderson Presents, Shakespeare in Love) and Mike (Michael Williams – Educating Rita, Love in a Cold Climate) take the first tentative steps in a relationship that never runs smoothly. A struggling garden business, the question of babies, and the constant interference of Laura’s sister Helen, and her husband Phil all conspire to pile the pressure onto the hapless couple’s stuttering relationship… 

 

Written by the masterful pen of Bob Larbey (The Darling Buds of May, Ever Decreasing Circles) and co-starring Susan Penhaligon (The Uncanny, No Sex Please, We’re British) and Richard Warwick (If, Please Sir!) as Laura’s sister and brother-in-law, A FINE ROMANCE was a huge ratings winner because of its sharp wit and gentle comedy.

 

This box-set contains all twenty-six episodes of the hit comedy, which ran from 1981 until 1984, and will appeal to fans of classic British comedies like The Lovers, Ever Decreasing Circles and My Family.
