Thank you Ann - I Google but obviously wasn't asking the right question. Off to find out the name of Carter's wife now.

Well done Ann, yes it was " I didn't know you cared." Thank you

We have our Howard and Hilda moments too!

It was a brilliant series, we could do with a few more like that on tv

I just had to google and I was thinking of" I didn't know you cared" I had forgotten all about it but I have a memory like an elephant according to my family and it was the name Carter which triggered it.

I loved 'Ever decreasing circles'. I thought it was much better than 'The good life'. Howard and Hilda were classics but Penelope Wilton stole the show I reckon. And that handsome Paul next door!

Sometimes when DH and I are about to go out, I say 'one of us will have to change. We look like Howard and Hilda'. Strange how some characters stick in the mind.

Howard and Hilda loved the shipping forecast, I seem to remember?

Was it starring Robin someone who was a Professor of Very Hard Sums and may have been by John Tinniswoode or is that a completely different programme?

kittylester Sat 16-Jul-16 13:39:57

Oh I loved 'Carrrter' can't remember a thing about it though.

BBbevan Sat 16-Jul-16 13:33:32

My DD always says we are like H&H. Other than that it's " Carter darling" from some long ago sitcom. I can't remember which one but it had Liz Smith in it ?

Ah yes, we have occasional Howard and Hilda moments too. ?

Mid 80's. Loved the show and in particular, Howard and Hilda, great characters.

DH and I still use 'Howard and Hilda' for couples who seem to be joined at the hip! How long ago was Ever decreasing Circles on?

breeze Sat 16-Jul-16 11:01:39

Morning! Howard and Hilda! grin

annsixty Sat 16-Jul-16 10:52:37

I well remember some years ago now A friend called and H and I were both in light blue jeans and navy sweatshirts with white trainers and she said we looked like Tweedledum and Tweedledee. I never felt the same about her after that grin

Being trendy grin DH and I have bought some stripey t shirts this year but it was only when youngest daughter arrived and said ' have you two looked at yourselves?' that we realised that we were both wearing grey striped tops, blue jeans and light shoes.

We are not auditioning for ever decreasing circles, honestly!
