I used to love watching this. Wendy something or other, Jeffery what's his name and Rodney the plonker  The little mini, the enticement of an extra marital affair |

Now that I think about it, was it called Butterflies and not Butterfly? Bloody memory can be a bugger at times !

Nah... it was cack!
Carla Lane's "Let's have pathos added to comedy - it WILL work".
It didn't.
And she did the same with 'Bread' - got too serious... and the 'relief'?
Basically Granddad shouting "p*ss Off"
Hilarious!
;D

Butterflies it was. Another good comedy starring Geoffrey Palmer. Not normally a fan of Lane's stuff, but I did like this.

I think the trouble with Ms. Lane was she sometimes forgot she was writing comedy, got carried away with the serious stuff and left the gags behind. As for Butterflies, weren't keen. I thought it was more a sitcom your mum liked... And Nicholas Lyndhurst could've done with a few pies...  |
