Executive Stress - The Complete Series

Executive Stress - The Complete Series

Sitcom legend Penelope Keith reunites with The Good Life producer John Howard Davies in this cleverly written and immensely popular comedy from writer/actor George Layton. Co-starring Butterflies' Geoffrey Palmer and Keith's To The Manor Born co-star Peter Bowles, this set contains all three series.

Caroline Fairchild has resumed her former career in publishing - much against the wishes of husband Donald, who also works in the same industry. When her publisher's parent company also takes over Donald's employer, they learn that their megalomaniacal director takes a harsh line on married couples working together. Sneakily they devise an unorthodox solution and become an undercover couple! The ploy seems to work, but there is one unpalatable aspect for Donald: he now finds himself taking orders from his wife...
