Surely this is required viewing for EVERYONE who visits this site.
True 1970's time capsule stuff with its caustically compelling examination of the newly minted rising "middle classes" and their social mores.
Please repeat after me:
Beverly: "Oh for Christ's sake, Lawrence."
Beverly: "This is the downstairs bathroom."
Ange: "This is the suite I was telling you about. It's nice, isn't it?"
Lawrence: "I find the mini economical, efficient and reliable. And the most suited for my purposes. Of course I change my car every year."
Beverly: "Bottle of Red, that's lovely, I'll just pop it in the fridge, OK?"
Ange: "And we got the price of the house down, from £22,000, to £21,000!"
Beverly: "Lawrence, I would like to listen to Demis Roussos. Ange would like to listen to Demis Roussos. Tony would like to listen to Demis Roussos. Sue would like to listen to Demis Roussos. So, Lawrence, could we listen to Demis Roussos, please?"
Beverly: "Next time you put on your lip-stick could you do something for me? Sit down, look at yourself, relax and say "I've got very beautiful lips." And that way, when you apply your lipstick you'll be applying it to every corner of your mouth. Could you do that for me? Can you say "I've got very beautiful lips?" Ange: "I've got very beautiful lips." Beverly: "Yah! And Ange, you're gonna notice the difference!"
Anyone for a cheesy pineapple?

Do you like the ARTS, Sue?
Actually, the red wine Laurence gets bought is Beaujolais, which is the only red wine usually drunk chilled - so Beverley isn't being as 'common' as we immediately think.

I want to see a remade version starring David and Victoria Beckham as Laurence and Beverley. Then they could restage the Demis Roussos scene with a copy of Forever by The Spice Girls.

It's all about the cheesey pineapples and you know it. No, I don't like them either.
