Little Women

"'I don't know which of the two masculine approaches is the more offensive - Gary's straight boorishness or Vernon's patronising, undervaluing gallantry".

Trying to put up a new shelf, Sarah's goes to war in the battle of the sexes.

Simon Brett's comedy about three generations of women.

Each is struggling to cope after the death of Sarah's GP husband, yet they never quite manage to see eye-to-eye.

Sarah ...... Prunella Scales

Russell ...... Benjamin Whitrow
Clare ...... Gerry Cowper
Vernon ...... Frederick Treves
Gary ...... Ian Michie
