Penelope Keith is great as Caroline Fielding Fairchild, a woman who returns to the publishing world after spending 20 years raising her children and taking care of her husband Donald, played by the always-great Geoffrey Palmer. The same day that Caroline starts her new job as editorial director, Oasis takes over Ginsberg and, Donald becomes the new sales and marketing director. Caroline and Donald now find themselves working for the same company. The must now keep their marriage a secret. This was a superb British sit-com with a top-notch cast. The writers each week came up with more and more situations that were taken right out the average work place. This is a worthwhile comedy and it's a shame it didn't get the airtime it deserved.
