Meet The Wife DVD recall

Simply Media is issuing replacement DVDs after an episode was missed out of their recent Meet The Wife collection

British Comedy Guide, 29th November 2016

Thora Hird and Freddie Frinton are as cunningly professional as any in the trade. And their show Meet the Wife on BBC1 offers us some solid old-fashioned comedy in commendably vigorous style.

Dennis Potter, Daily Herald, 29th April 1964
