A Fine Romance (BritBox, from Thursday)
Bob Larbey is perhaps best known for co-creating, with his erstwhile writing partner John Esmonde, such classic sitcoms as The Good Life and Please Sir! But Larbey also worked solo on several series, including As Time Goes By. It was his second project with Judi Dench, the first being A Fine Romance, in which she starred with her now much-missed husband Michael Williams (she also performs the theme tune). Dench plays Laura, a single, middle-aged translator whose glamorous matchmaking sister and brother-in-law attempt to pair her up with shy gardener Mike (Williams). Unsurprisingly, there's plenty of chemistry between the two leads, and as a result, the show was hugely popular throughout its four series, all of which are being made available to stream.
