- Synopsis:
Maxine (Felicity Kendal) is a carefree young woman, always looking on the bright side of things. She runs a successful florist's shop. She's also having an affair with married man, Luke. Although their relationship is illicit and Maxine is occasionally troubled by guilt and insecurity, she is reluctant to end it. Hovering between them is Luke's wife, Helen (Jane Asher), who remains blissfully oblivious to her husband's extramarital activities... Carla Lane, one of Britain's top TV scriptwriters, wrote this classic eyebrow-raising sitcom for the BBC, following her smash hit shows Butterflies and Solo. Audiences were outraged to see the nation's sweetheart, Felicity Kendal, playing 'the other woman' when this bitter-sweet comedy first aired in 1985. Despite the outrage the series proved extremely popular and a second series was aired in 1987, also starring Felicity Kendal and Jane Asher. - Actors:

The Mistress - The Mistress: Series review by CP Customer
We did not enjoy this series, ended up not watching most of the series after the third episode of disc one. Pity both discs were sent out together as we would have cancelled the second disc before hand. Just did not find it funny, just made us feel uncomfortable and it seemed to get worse as it went along. A bad choice on our part!
