Featured review
Pieces of Eight, Pieces of Eight.
This was one of the funniest sitcoms to come out of the BBC, sweet, funny and innocent. It showed the class divide in the country during the 1920's. The Meldrum's, a wealthy family living in a large house, below stairs live the servants. A charismatic bunch lead by butler Alf Stokes. Most of the humour comes from downstairs, and lots of the serious bits come from the mix of the two.
On many occasions social and political arguments were raised, there were often touches of realism.
It went out on a Sunday evening, and it was the last good bit of the weekend, before School on a Monday morning.
Great performances from all the cast. Su Pollard was visually very funny, so often she's the one that steals the laughs. The craziest laughs came from Lady Lavender, her and that parrot.
It was a brilliant series, one I couldn't recommend highly enough, 10/10
