Simon Cadell stars in Life Without George

Life Without George

Life Without George, 1987

Another one of those sitcoms that despite being popular at the time seems largely forgotten about.

It starred Simon Cadell of Hi-De-Hi fame and ran for three series between 1987 and 1989.

The series has been repeated on what was UK Gold, but does not find it’s way to front of the queue in the regular repeat schedules, nor is there any official DVD release.

Summary

The series centres around  a young woman, Jenny Russell and her struggle to adapt to life after being left by her partner George, hence the title.

Moving on Jenny becomes involved in an on-off relationship with a neurotic estate agent Larry Wade.

Clips

Unfortunately these clips are not the best but the only ones available as the series does not benefit from regular repeats, a DVD release nor has it found it’s way to streaming services.
