"Judi Dench and Geoffrey Palmer provide an acting masterclass in gentle comedy. The pair are so natural together it is hard to believe they are not man and wife in real life." -Mirror

"You can almost cut the air with their impeccable timing." -Time Out

“Much of this show’s popularity can be attributed to the deft performances, but its old-fashioned style of humour plays a large part, too. It doesn’t deliver a belly laugh a second, nor does it have the repetitive setup/punchline rhythm of a US sitcom, but it does leave viewers with smiles on their faces and warm feelings in their hearts.” -Radio Times

“Dame Judi's citrus-sharp observations as Jean, served up with Geoffrey Palmer's dry wit as Lionel, have provided an irresistible feast for viewers.” -Leicester Mercury
