We thoroughly enjoyed this, continuing the romance between Lionel and Jean who were parted by the Korean War, reunited nearly thirty years later. It's best to have seen the first three seasons beforehand. Episodes in this involve continuations of previous storylines, and some new ones, though the same main characters are involved.

Gentle humour, some poignancy, and much that resonates - but then we're similar ages to the starring couple, and could appreciate their point of view. We smiled, even laughed in places, and found everyone, even the caricatures (Mrs Flack, and to some extent Alistair) likeable and believable.

Highly recommended - although we don't currently have any plans to acquire seasons 5-9 of this 1990s show. Season Four ended on a positive note, and we suspect that later ones would become a bit samey.
