The Upper Hand - The Complete Series
When high-flying executive Caroline Wheatley advertises for a live-in home help, Charlie Burrows is the last person she expected to apply. But when Charlie, a footballer with a career curtailed by injury, moves into her luxurious country home with his daughter, he meets with approval both from Caroline's vivacious mother Laura and her son Tom. Before long, a romance blossoms - one that will take the pair all the way up the wedding aisle. But there are plenty of surprises along the way...
This engaging sitcom stars Joe McGann as Charlie and Diana Weston as Caroline, with Avengers siren Honor Blackman as Laura and future Bad Girls star Kellie Bright as Charlie's streetwise daughter, Joanna.
The Upper Hand, based on scripts for the hugely popular US series Who's The Boss?, was a major success for Central during the 1990s and ran for seven series, all of which are presented here.
