It is somewhat ironic that I didn't start watching the original screening on BBC1 until the fourth season and have therefore had to catch up via UKTV Drama. Having said that I thoroughly enjoyed this easy paced drama and will still sit and catch episodes regularly. It had all the ingredients of great Sunday night fare, scenery, love interest, comedy and decent acting. It did make me chuckle at the way both Archie and Paul got through so many love interests throughout the series and there was some deja vu with Stella's character who was obviously a re-run of Justine. I might add that it would have been much better if Katrina hadd ended up as Mrs Archie but maybe that's a question of taste (would a toff marry the hired help?) Having said that the series never lost it's inherent charm. Worth catching on Cable when you can.
