This gentle, romantic sitcom stars the real-life partnership of Pauline Collins and John Alderton as a couple recounting the eventful earlier years of their marriage. Written by another highly successful husband and wife team - Terence Brady and Charlotte Bingham - the series' novel formula, with each episode's events unfolding in flashback form, was an instant hit with viewers on its original screening in 1974, spawning a sequil, Yes, Honestly, and a Top Ten hit for Lynsey de Paul's theme song.
Clara and Charles Danby revisit several key moment from their courtship and marriage of ten years. Clara is now a successful children's author, while Charles, affectionately known as "CD" ('Clever Drawers'), is an established actor. But life wasn't always this comfortable for the Danbys; early days saw the couple struggling to make ends meet as their fledgling careers seemed to founder, and Clara's choice of husband caused a little unease for her aristocratic family. However, the combination of Clara's oddly compelling logic and CD's eternal optimism saw them through those unsteadier times - and would they really have wished it otherwise?
