Customer Reviews of A Fine Romance (Episodes 10-18)
Call all Judi Dench fans! I stumbled upon this series by accident. Living in the USA, we've never been privy to this series with Judi Dench. What's even more delightful is, her co-star in the series is Dame Judi's real husband. But, on to the story:
The relationship and it's progression couldn't be more awkward.
Judi plays an accomplished, successful, professional translator, much in demand in her field. She lives well, travels extensively, but is middle-aged and unmarried.
Next to her beautiful, perky, popular, MARRIED, younger sister, she always comes off badly and out of place. And despite all of her loving sister's (and her husband's) efforts to treat her well, be kind, be loving, be considerate AND try to draw her out socially and introduce her to men, each episode documents the disasters.
They do introduce her to an equally socially gauche "landscape gardener' whose business skills are as tattered as his favorite sweaters. They grate on each other, but team up to avoid further interference by their well-meaning friends.
The series is slow paced, low key, sometimes subtle, but always very funny. We bought all nine tapes at once. And the last tape was, in fact, the last episode of the series. We were VERY disappointed to learn there were no more.
We enjoyed it immensely. And now, my mother is in the process of screening the tapes. She's so pleased!
fine romance it is!
I caught a glimpse of this show on a PBS station following a popular BBC - with "Mrs. Bucket" and loved it! It gives you a glimspe of average life in Britian and is very clever, cute, and funny!
Real-life romance from real-life husband and wife
I was so excited at the release of A FINE ROMANCE on videocassette that, after viewing set 1, I hounded Acorn Media for the release date of set 2. Now having seen set 2, set 3's release later this year can't come a minute to soon! This second series charts Mike and Laura's progress as they stumble forward in their relationship by moving in together. The wonderful comedic timing of Judi Dench and Michael Williams, the obvious chemistry between them, and the realistic romantic plot make this a winner. Dame Judi's large talent is recognized far and wide by now, so the real treat is Michael Williams, whose gift for acting has been seen by most Americans in only small doses (EDUCATING RITA, TEA WITH MUSSOLINI). His portrayal of the shy, bumbling Mike Selway is alternately hilarious and touching. Sadly, Michael Williams passed away earlier this year, but A FINE ROMANCE is a fitting tribute to both his acting abilities and his own "fine romance" with Judi Dench. What a treat for Britcom fans!
