Press clippings

The plot is even more familiar: brash American career-woman (la Stritch) employs perfect British butler (Sinden). But on the basis of its first episode I can confidently pronounce the show as fresh as a daisy. The two roles are written with no salient degree of wit, but they are properly supplied with character-points, and Stritch and Sinden are well qualified to do the rest.

Clive James, The Observer, 14th September 1975
