it is hard to see how anyone else could have played Timothy Lumsden. Ronnie Corbett is just about perfect as the eternal mommy's boy. He is middle-aged and totally downtrodden by his domineering mother, a wonderful performance by the sadly late Barbara Lott. She plays her part to the hilt and often looks on the verge of corpsing when she delivers some of her fantastic lines. She is a terrible cook who does nothing but nag Timothy and her long suffering but incredibly laid back husband. The stories revolve around Timothy's quest for a mate hampered all the time by Mother. She gives him lick washes and feeds him the most dreadful leftovers from her dreadful meals. She treats him like a small child all the time which he resembles. This is obviously a tailor made vehicle for Ronnie Corbett's comic talents and he acquits himself more than adequately. Dated but still enjoyable.
