    • Trivia
      The shop exteriors were actually two restaurants next door to each other , one Indian and one Greek, in the village of Claygate, Surrey. To accommodate the series location filming both restaurants closed for a two week summer holiday at the same time once a year and the Thames television art department would temporarily turn the shop fronts into the neighbouring antique dealers seen in the show.

    Ok

    Amazed this lasted 11 years it's basically a one idea comedy with no character development but the 2 leads do bounce off each other very well and it's what carries it, my biggest problem was with the supporting characters particularly the 1 episode women stars how could they be written like this in the eighties just baffles me mostly 1 dimensional and unbelievable
