And a new comedy series, He's A Wonderful Wife (Radio 4, Wednesday) which depends on the unfunny, out-dated and overplayed notion that there is something inherently comic in men staying at home and wives working. It needs remarkably skilful dialogue to absorb such a wet idea - and this series, though it is early days yet, looks like being not so much a sponge, as a lead face flannel.

Val Arnold-Forster, The Guardian, 29th July 1977
