Company

Happily-married couple C.D. and Clara start each episode by recounting their courtship and early marriage to a live audience; the programme then flashbacks to their early days.

Made at a time when the real-life husband and wife stars were riding high with the popularity they had gained in Upstairs, Downstairs. A sequel, Yes - Honestly, was made with new stars and, although successful, failed to capture the flavour of the original.
