WELCOME to the sitcom world of the Medfords. It's bland, gentle and (apart from a non-PC exchange in the very first episode) inoffensive.

Scott and Whitfield had begun their TV partnership in 1968, but the "Terry and June" title didn't come into play until 1979 with the six episodes on this disc.

There were plenty who loathed the show, deriding its cosy view of Middle England. But millions just couldn't get enough of the Medfords' domestic muddlings. Scott plays his character like a daft, overgrown schoolboy while Whitfield, who has said that her job was to "drift the laughter towards Terry's lines", rolls her eyes to heaven and quietly restores order.
