Please help me identify a Britcom... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

My friend does not have a computer, and she has been trying to identify the title of a Britcom she watched many years ago on Canadian television. She said she thinks it was a half hour long, and it probably came out during the same era as "Good Neighbours." The plot involved a woman who worked at a flower shop, and had two pet bunny rabbits (who had full run of the house). She has a relationship with a married man, and together they experience many ups and downs.

If anybody could give us any info about this Britcom (especially the title of the show, the name of the actors who were in it, and how long it lasted), we both would be eternally grateful!

Thank you in advance!

Sincerely, Steve B.

Hi there Stevie!

The sitcom your friend is thinking of is almost certainly The Mistress.

Interestingly, it does actually star Felicity Kendal, of The Good Life fame (renamed, somewhat bizarrely, and I've never found out why, as Good Neighbours for the North American market).

Although it doesn't appear to have been released on DVD commercially, I may be able to get copies. PM me if your friend is interested in seeing the show again.

Best wishes,
