And Mother Makes Three
 1 9 7 1 - 1 9 7 3 (UK)
26 x 30 minute episodes
1 x Christmas special
An ITV version of the comedy premise that scored award-winning
success in the BBC sitcom Not In Front Of The Children with
the much underrated actress Wendy Craig starring again as a
somewhat scatter-brained, harassed mother in a series of domestic
dilemmas written by Richard Waring.
Craig played the role of Sally Harrison, a widow faced with the
everyday tribulations of raising two well-meaning but nonetheless
troublesome children, a cat and a goldfish, 'helped' by her aunt
(Valerie Lush), all while enjoying some occasional male interest
and holding down a job as assistant to a vet (Mr Campbell).
Sally married father-of-one widower and antiquarian bookseller
David Redway in the final series, leading to the sequel And
Mother Makes Five.
The domestic scope of the new series was much the same, with
Wendy Craig as harassed as before and the children growing older
but remaining as wholesomely brattish as before.
