Try pitching Never the Twain today and you'd be out on your ear in ten seconds flat, a sitcom about two middle-aged antique dealers simply couldn't compete with has-beens making fools of themselves to pay the mortgage. But, back in the '80s, Never the Twain was always on tonight, or had been on yesterday, or was on tomorrow. The scripts are surprisingly sharp, with one-liners that are genuinely funny rather than funny if you turn your head on one side and squint. Windsor Davies and Donald Sinden are an absolute joy to watch and it's sad to think that this type of gracious humour has all but disappeared everywhere but shiny discs. While it's rotten and unfair to pick one above the other, Davies is one of my favourite actors, so I'm hopelessly biased, the way he turns to look at a pretty girl, the way he raises an eyebrow at a put down - it's all so incredibly right that, like Sid James, he hardly seems a performer at all. Mourn it, celebrate it.
