Miss Jones and Son - The Complete First Series [DVD]

Product Information

In "For What We Are Not About To Receive", Elizabeth is forced to babysit some babies thanks to some Ambiguous Syntax (she wanted to be babysat, but several unmarried mothers misunderstood it as her wanting to babysit). This causes issues when the Health Visitor arrives and, mistaking her identity, Elizabeth tears her a new one.

Embarrassing Last Name: Geoffrey has both this and an Embarrassing Middle Name according to "Baptism Under Fire". His middle name is "Eustace", which is ridiculous enough that Elizabeth struggles to hold in her laughter, and his last name is "Cuthbert", which provokes even more laughter from Elizabeth. He's rather ashamed of them. Closet Shuffle: If the opening sequence is to be believed, Elizabeth met Alan whilst hiding in a cupboard attempting to hide her semi-nudity.In "Will You Be My Wife?", Sam, an upstairs neighbour, asks Elizabeth to pretend to be his wife for an important office function. Unfortunately, things are complicated when Elizabeth brings up her son during the function.

Series 2 provides a bit of a Retool - Geoffrey moves out of his flat and the show takes on a more romantic bent, focusing on Elizabeth's slowly developing relationship with widower David (David Saville). On June 28, 2008, WQHT's contract with Jones expired, and she returned to the airwaves of Philadelphia. This city gave Jones with the Key to the city and several mayoral awards for her community service endeavors. [ citation needed] Miss Jones and Son is a comedy series first broadcast on ITV in 1977.

Happily Ever After: By the end of the series, Elizabeth has gotten into a romantic relationship with David and they are seen sharing several kisses, even if it isn't wedding bells for them yet. In January 2012, Jones developed and launched Jonesyradio.com, but due to Hurricane Sandy, the broadcast was short-lived. [ citation needed] All There in the Script: Inverted - Elizabeth's parents are named Desmond and Mary, but are only referred to as "Mum" and "Dad" in the credits. It's especially strange in this case seeing that baby Roland is at least partially named for his grandfather. Birds of a Feather: Both of Elizabeth's romantic interests are single parents with children much like her - Matthew was on the brink of a divorce (until he reconciled with his wife) and had a baby daughter, whilst David is a widower with an 11-year-old daughter. Additionally, David has a creative job at home, much like Elizabeth.

The wonderful Paula Wilcox was a popular star of Man About the House and this served as a follow-up of sorts for her. Though Robin (Richard O'Sullivan) was the main character of that series and always first billed, every episode featured Paula in a key role. And very often she was the lead character of an episode. This time Paula as the title character is unequivocally the lead. A US made version was Miss Winslow and Son; this short-lived version ran for six episodes on CBS in 1979. [5] Episodes [ edit ] Series One (1977)Put on a Bus: After being a main character throughout Series 1, Geoffrey moves out to be with his fiancee Ruth in the middle of the Series 2 episode "A Theme in Two Flats" and is never seen again.
