The Cuckoo Schmaltz, 11 August 2006
1/10
Author: AdamFontaine from Ambrosia

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

This Granada sitcom gave Lewis Collins his first taste of television stardom. He played wealthy 'Gavin Rumsey', on the rebound from a failed marriage, who moves in with the poor but happy Chris and Fliss ( yuck! ) Hawthorne. Er, why? With his money, why doesn't he get a place of his own? His presence disrupts the smooth day-to-day running of the house, 'dolly birds' are soon flitting about, and expensive gadgetry is installed.

David Roper' Chris was so irritating one wondered why Fliss didn't ditch him and run off with the better-looking Gavin. Beautiful Diane Keen did her best with a role which gave her nothing to do other than push a pram and look bewildered. Collins' Gavin seemed a try-out for his later role as hard-man 'Bodie' in 'The Professionals'.

The late Geoffrey Lancashire wrote the less-than hilarious scripts ( he also worked on 'The Lovers' ). In 1980, the show was briefly revived, with Ian Saynor replacing Collins, but it was just as limp as before.
