Some of you may remember a late 80's BBC Sitcom called "You must be the Husband" - starred Tim Brooke-Taylor and Diane Keen as his characters wife. Not sure what Brooke-Taylors character did for a living but he drove a MK2 Granada estate I remember.
His wife writes a romance novel and becomes more successful than him and it was about the ups and downs of suddenly being famous (or something like that). It ran to 2 series and was also notable for Garfield Morgan being in the supporting cast as - I think - Brooke- Taylors brother in law. Brian Hall was also in it although cannot remember what sort of character he played.

I don't remember that one, there are so many sitcoms that come & go, TV Cream website describes it as 'woeful bargain bin laughless comedy'. I saw an episode of 'No Place Like Home' recently, that show was as bad as sitcoms come, truly terrible.

Talking about Quincy ME, I’ve just watched one this morning, Hit and Run at Danny’s, and the summary by Bojan is spot on! Having said that though, it was watchable and I liked the 70s California look and feel of it. Quincy had a vacation disturbed today, I’m better than Mystic Meg! :D

Yes he did! Liked his little green and white Jeep and the nice, dark haired girl who asked him to look into the closed case!

Continuing the 70s US theme, The Waltons. My wife liked it so I did get to see odds and ends of it. Personally I thought it presented a very idealised view of America during the depression of the 1930s, and that Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath was probably much nearer the truth.
Having said that, a few of the early episodes weren’t bad and I liked the grandad, played by Will Geer, who liked illicit booze. Also it did sometimes tackle serious issues like racism, and poked fun at bible bashing religious nutters.
