Happy Ever After

Happy Ever After

With Warren coming round to pick up his Christmas presents, today seemed as good an opportunity as any to follow up our look at the Christmas Specials of 'Terry And June' with the earlier festive editions of 'Happy Ever After'.

For many of us, the two series probably merge into one in our memories, and bar a change of surname from Fletcher to Medford along with the disappearance of Aunt Lucy (nothing to do with 'Paddington') & daughters Susan and Debbie (and rarely-seen son Frank), there's really not much to separate them.

There's some amusing stuff on display here, with Terry wrestling with a Christmas tree so huge it's in severe danger of destroying the studio backdrop outside the front door.

June's parents come round and though this is not popular with Terry, he soon cottons on to the idea that in the long run it might be worth staying in their good books.

There's some daftness with an inflatable bed that June manages to stand on at all the wrong moments.
It doesn't quite hits the heights of the best of the 'Terry And June' Christmas shows, but watching the two episodes one after the other was a decent enough way of filling an hour.

And there's a rather strange mention of the fact that 'Happy Ever After' is on the telly at one point, which led us to wonder who played the lead parts in this fictional universe's version of the show.
