Men Of The World, 1994
Another forgotten sitcom. Men Of The World ran for 2 series of 6 episodes each in the mid 1990’s.
Neither series has ever been repeated on UK terrestrial television, though it was screened on Carlton Select sometime in the late nineties. However, it has not had a DVD release nor does it appear on streaming services.
Men Of The World appears to have largely been forgotten.
