How much do I love this series?
I love it so much that I am buying the PAL version and can't even play it! I have given up on ever finding a playable copy so I hope I can get it transferred somehow (or maybe break down and get a region-free player--they've gotten much cheaper now). I saw this series many years ago on A&E, I think, and have been looking for a Region I version since then. So this review is from memory. It's a very dark comedy as only the British can do about a couple who are at odds over the possible construction of a motorway through their estate. The dominating wife is against it, but the sneaky, profit-minded husband is for it. Like another reviewer, this series was my introduction to Suchet who plays their gardener with a past who eventually teams up with the wife. It's full of quirky characters and situations--and an animal or two! If you love British dark humor and you can play the DVD, then definitely don't pass it up.
