- Synopsis:
They went their separate ways...but ended up as neighbours! These divorcees tried to get away from it all, especially each other, but their fresh starts are beginning to look suspiciously like their old ones...When George and Suzy Bassett (John Aiderton and Hannah Gordon) finalise their divorce, they're both eager for a new start in life. When they both decide to relocate to the countryside however, they are appalled to discover that they have accidentally moved into neighbouring cottages! The hilarious BAFTA winning sitcom was inspired by the rising divorce rates following the sexual liberations of the 1960's. Former BBC Broadcast Executive Sir Bill Cotton once cited 'My Wife Next Door' as evidence that with the right treatment, any subject could be made funny. According to 'The Guardian' the series made the concept of divorce watchable by treating the couple with affection and respect. - Actors:
