Butterflies (TV Series)

 

UK 1978-1983, 190 minutes
Dir. John B. Hobbs, Sydney Lotterby
Rating: [PG]
Genres: Television, Comedy

Topics: Mid-life.

 

Aroview: An impressively low-key British sitcom about a wistful housewife contending with a mid-life crisis, the social revolutions of the 1970s and the confines of suburban England.

Craig is excellent in the lead, with just the right amount of self-awareness to her plight, while Palmer offers good support as her distantly ironic husband who is oblivious as she toys with having an affair. Lyndhurst also makes a notable early TV appearance as one of the wayward sons of the family. Written by Carla Lane.

Series 1 available on 2 discs.
