Features: DVD
Dorothy McNab is a brash American writer living in London. When she hires the quintessential British butler to look after her Chelsea home, cultures clash and sparks fly. Elaine Stritch is the anti-British, pro-feminist Dorothy, Donald Sinden the witheringly polite old-school Robert in a rollicking Britcom that's won fans on both sides of the pond. Set includes the first six episodes: The Bait, The Housekeeping, Dorothy's Electrician, The Patient, The Romance, and Robert's Mother.
Editor's Note
This classic British television series pairs American stage actress Elaine Stritch with English screen star Donald Sinden as the comically mismatched duo Dorothy McNab, an American writer living in London, and Robert Hiller, her very proper English butler. As the brash American trades barbs with the well-mannered Brit, the series becomes an hilarious exercise in culture clash that eventually grows into a warm, if contentious, friendship. This volume includes the first six episodes of season one: "The Bait," "The Housekeeping," "Dorothy's Electrician," "The Patient," "The Romance," and "Robert's Mother."
