Luckily I made a Betamax copy of this when it came out. (Which I subsequently put on DVD, although it's flickery black and white now.) Brilliant, subversive, deliciously acid, its observation of mundane suburban life was accurate, pitiless and yet left you feeling for the characters.
All the actors went on to well- deserved fame in their own right. Each performance was a gem you can enjoy over and over and over again.
Strange it has never reappeared on the Box. I still come out with lines from Grown Ups, although it is 30 years ago, like one does with Abigail :-)
"That's handy, Mandy" Must dig it out and have another view.
