One never mentioned, so qualifies
 .......I loved it, cringe silent moments that had you in stitches (long before but similar to The Office in some peculiar way)The Outside Edge (about suburban joe bloggs running a cricket team and his compliant but frustrated wife) Looking back what a fantastic cast Robert Daws as Roger, Brenda Blethyn as Miriam, Timothy Spall as Kevin Josie Lawrence as Maggie |

Hope you got the dvd boxsets guinness, been a fan of the show i was proud to get thanks on the dvd (region 1 only) as the creator Alan Spencer asked for help in getting laugh track free episodes before they dvd's were made...I had taped them off itv in the late 80s/early 90s who showed them without the laugh track, ended up posting them to hollywood for them to use and got a thanks on the dvd credits.
