The official 25th anniversary production of Ray Cooney’s hugely successful comedy with Vicki Michelle (‘Allo, ‘Allo) and Trevor Bannister (Are You Being Served)
It seems that, for some people, forty is a rather traumatic age.
For Linda Harper, it certainly appears to be, as she starts worrying three years before her fortieth birthday. She is dissatisfied spiritually and physically with her seventeen-year marriage to the slightly staid George.
However following a drunken night, during which George recounts passionate stories involving a flamenco dancer from the top of a grand piano, he moves out. When he returns to the family home a few weeks later to sort out maintenance arrangements with the help of neighbours Roger and Betty, he and Linda discover that the flames of passion are not quite dead, albeit in need of a little fanning!
Accompanied by the Central Band of the Royal Air Force, Linda helps George to put the ex back into sex.
