Third Time Lucky, 1982
Two established comedy actors in the form of Nerys Hughes (Liver Birds) and Derek Nimo (All Gas and Gaitors) come together in this tale of a rather complicated relationship.
Third Time Lucky ran for just the 1 series of 7 episodes back in 1982.
Summary
A divorce is rarely a painless affair, more so if it’s your first marriage and if your second relationship also ends in divorce then it must be particularly disappointing . However what would happen if you then get back with the partner you divorced the first time round? Well that’s exactly what happens to George Hutchenson.
After two divorces he finds himself trying to reconcile marital bliss again with his ex-first wife Beth after their first attempt ended in acrimony.
This time round they will be contending with not only the dangers of ugly issues arising once again, but also the activities of their daughters Clare and Jenny . If that’s not enough, just to add to the pressure there’s the continued presence of their ex-partners from their subsequent marriages from each other.
