When I see this show i think of my mum who's just died. In her heyday, she was quite something. I'll remember her like Yootha, full of life and character. God bless mum.
wonderful comedy, who would ever have guessed from her brilliant perfomance just how unhappy she was. George and Mildred was due to be filmed for a new series when Yootha Joyce tragically died.
They dont make comedy like that anymore, what a shame. George and Mildred was one of the best during there times i still believe it could stand up on todays comedies!
OMG!!!! What fond memories, I was a teenager when they showed this on tv here in the UAE....And what little I saw just brought back the laughs we used have...
Hey. George and Mildred. Pure Gold Comedy. Have all 5 series on DVD, and love every episode. Yootha Joyce and Brian Murphy played the couple so brilliantly. The first series was the best, especially the episode where George buys the caravan. Mildred trys so hard to make a good impression for her sister, and George just cracks me up, the way he sits there, finishes his dinner and with no consideration to anyone, just lets the biggest burp u cud ever wish to avoid, out of his mouth.
That's right about Jeffrey being Robin's brother in M.A.T.H. In fact I caught an earlier episode of that where he played yet another character (an adulterous love interest of Chrissy's. Maybe he was shagging the casting directors or something.
Is it back on Paramount 2? I already have the first three series on DVD, so I shall have to have a look at the final two series. Not that I haven't seen all of them a dozen times already ...! Oh, and Sheila Fearn played the mother in 'Time Bandits' from 1981. Great stuff, if a little surreal!
I've always thought that George & Mildred has been sorely under rated. It just goes to show that the BBC does not have a monopoly on quality sitcoms. Brian Murphy is a comic genius, IMO. Oh, and you too jeffry, of course!
Haven't seen MASH for ages; 'Rising Damp' is truly excellent, as you say, but I would have to say that Reginald Perrin was surely the late great Leonard Rossiter's finest creation. Utter, utter genius.
I think Sheila Fearne went to school in my hometown of Leicester, jeffry, although I could be wrong. I do know that Peter Sissons and even Jimmy Tarbuck went to school with Lennon, though. It always puzzled me that George and Mildred Roper apparently didn't recognise your alter ego as being none other than their former tenant's brother, ie a completely different person ... such are the vagaries of TV, I suppose!
Hard to believe though it may be now, but Norman Eshley who plays Jeffrey always used to play the heavy in 70s cop shows like The Sweeney. He was also in 'The House of Mortal Sin,' from the notorious UK horror director Pete Walker. It's great fun, actually, available as part of a boxed set sleeved in a coffin shaped case! Yes, folks, it really is that tacky ...
I always used to fancy your wife Anne something rotten, jeffryfourmile. Not that there was even the merest hint of hanky panky, you understand; I'm too much of a gentleman for that. Did you know she knew John Lennon? Don't you just hate name droppers?
George and Mildred and the Formiles.....

Check out Brian Murphy in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.
It was on the other day & I went: "Hang on, ....That's George!"
He was 10 years younger then (1966).
My grandparents used to watch this (G&M) & laugh themselves silly :)
