Fresh Fields: Classic or Dud?

Message Bookmarked

This sitcom, starring Julia McKenzie, Anton Rodgers was utter classic when it was fresh, but suffered when it went French (fields).

i thought this was going to be about the grocery store.

in which case, dud, as it is almost always a sign of incipient gentrification.

Alt question: TS - Fresh Fields vs French Fields

I'm gonna say dud, but it did foreshadow A Year In Provence by a few, um, years.

Anton Rodgers finest hour's gotta be May To December, surely? The kooky secretary has been a much xeroxed character in the past ten years.

Totally classic imo. french fields wasn't quite as good, but I still used to watch it. Now they should put THAT on UK Gold!

I have no comment about Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, my former employers.

Ask me again in a year or so.

Total dud.

I resented it's warm cosy reinforcement of middle-class values - and I'm not even worried about class.

The kind of programme where a burglar is signalled by someone wearing a stripey burglar uniform and a black eye-mask (and I think he did).

Not quite a bad as Last of the Summer Wine which I suspect possibly contributed to a general lowering of the intelligence of the elderly audience watching it.
