Sitcom Take My Wife detailed the misadventures of struggling stand up comic Harvey Hill. His agent, Maurice Watkins is sure Harvey is destined for the big time but does have a clue how to get him there.

Meanwhile Harvey’s home life is a little difficult too, his wife can’t understand his ambitions and his upper-class mother-in-law is none too impressed either. Duggie Brown was a real life stand up comic whilst Elisabeth Sladen is one of the best loved Doctor Who companions.
