That's My Boy (1981 TV series)
That's My Boy is a British sitcom starring Mollie Sugden that aired on ITV from 23 October 1981 to 4 April 1986. The series was written and created by Pam Valentine and Michael Ashton, who later wrote "My Husband and I" (1987–88), which also starred Mollie Sugden. It was produced for the ITV network by Yorkshire Television, and, although the first three series are set in London, they were filmed in and around Harrogate in North Yorkshire. Plot. When Ida Willis (Mollie Sugden) gets a new job as housekeeper to Robert Price  (Christopher Blake) and his wife Angie (Jennifer Lonsdale), she moves into their London flat and soon discovers that Robert is the son she gave up for adoption when he was a baby, and she proceeds to call him Shane, the name she gave him when he was born. Other characters include Ida's troublesome brother Wilfred (Harold Goodwin) and Robert's adoptive mother Cecilia Price (Clare Richards), an upmarket widow with whom Ida doesn't get on. In the fourth series, they have moved to the fictitious Yorkshire village of Little Birchmarch, where Ida befriends Robert's mousy receptionist, Miss  Parfitt (Deddie Davies). DVD releases. All five series are now available individually from Network DVD. A complete VHS collection of "That's My Boy" was also released. ITV3 started repeating the series on 10 February 2020. A single episode of "That's My Boy" has been released in the UK as part of a DVD compilation called "Classic ITV Christmas Comedy".
