A very good piece of escapism that was scheduled for Sunday nights on ITV. Charley is a tax inspector who is sent to Kent to seek out Pop Larkin owing to the fact he hasn't payed any tax in years. Once he gets there he becomes totally carried away with the idyllic lifestyle they all lead. Added to this, he falls in love with the stunningly beautiful Catherine Zeta Jones (Wales' Finest !!!) and they eventually get married. I would class this as very good family viewing with something for everyone ..... feelgood stories, Catherine Zeta Jones for the male viewer and another polished performance from David Jason. You could call it a UK version of the Waltons though this is much much better. By the way, watch out the girly cat fight at the strawberry picking, you see Wales' finest wearing only a bra - what a treat !!!!
