Specific Shows
• Goodnight Sweetheart
My brief tribute to this time-travelling show starring Nicholas Lyndhurst as the hapless adulterer. Strangely, the concept for this show never seems to have been sold in the US...

• My Hero
I know it's a very accquired taste but I love this family comedy, despite some repetition of ideas. Geraldine McNulty excels as the evil Mrs Raven. This is my mircosite about the show, with episode guide, prduction staff interviews and series trivia.
