Which bit? Mrs Thursday, Charley being a TV or David's secret desire to get up close and personal with her unmentionables?
It's all news to me...

She liked things right and proper, Mrs Thursday would have none of this pantie licking nonsense! This was a serious thread. Mrs Thursday was quite particular!

This could never be considered comedy though in any way.

Although I suspect said in jest, Frankie's right. I think we've got a little too much of this 'sauciness' spilling over into forums and threads which should, if at all possible, be kept more inline.
Not sure if this thread is about anything to do with the programme in question (or indeed about anything much at all) but I've resurrected it anyway. I've just bought the 4 DVD set of the first series (13 episodes; 610 minutes) off ebay for £7.00 + £1.80 postage. I remember the name Mrs Thursday from back in the day (1966/67) but don't remember watching it with any regularity. Stars the wonderful Kathleen Harrison, who of course featured in many British films from the 1930s to the 1960s, including Ethel Huggett to Jack Warner's Joe and the cleaning lady to Alastair Sim's Scrooge, and latterly became a regular on our TV screens in the 60s & 70s. She lived to the ripe old age of 103.
Another female national treasure of the same era, Dandy Nichols, is also in two of the episodes. Like Dixon of Dock Green, the series was created by Ted Willis and was written by Ted Willis and Jack Rosenthal.
I look forward to watching it.
Ah, the days of one-TV households, when you had to watch what your parents wanted.
I remember watching it, but wouldn't say it is fondly remembered - certainly no plots etc.

As children and adolescents, we may well have balked at what our parents & grandparents - people in their 40s, 50s, 60s or 70s - were watching. But now we are those people (or at least some of us are 
)
Bring on The Good Old Days, The Billy Cotton Band Show, All Creatures Great & Small and, yes, perhaps even Mrs Thursday I say. I still draw the line at Sing Something Simple though.
