Lielieveld Home - Lielieveld Home

Molly gets a new job as the matron at a retirement home and there’s never a dull moment as she is introduced to a new group of staff and residents doing the most in their golden years. The senior citizens simply adore the naive Gielie, while Tannie Poppie knows absolutely all the skinder… and isn’t shy about constantly sharing! Some of the other Lelieveld residents include: Fleur Pot (Elma Potgieter), Gielie’s mom Martha Goosen (Karin van der Laag), Louw Brand (Cobus Visser) and Blaartjie Brand (Yvonne Schoeman) – all with their own issues and eccentricities, ranging from a snob without money, a baker and an incessant complainer. Poor Reverend Dou Droel (Matt Stern) tries in vain to keep the peace, together with his assistant Koekie de Kok (Lara Lourens). His dear adorable helper is actually also a temporary pole dancer in her spare time – but let’s not talk about that! Spanner Proes (Reginald Hufkie) is the centre’s colourful factotum responsible for all of the odd jobs.

dinnerladies

Dinnerladies is a BBC sitcom written by and starring Victoria Wood that chronicles the antics of a group of workers in a canteen in the north of England. Bren tries to maintain a semblance of order in amongst the chaos, while dealing with the canteen supervisor, slightly sex-obsessed cancer sufferer Tony. Dolly and Jean are the bickering menopausal older women, always at odds but best friends beneath it all. Then there's thick-as-two-short-planks Anita, and the terminally uninterested Twinkle, more concerned with having a good time than anything else. Making up the motley crew are military man handyman Stan, all rules and regulations, and ditzy Philippa, who never seems to get anything right.

Mind Your Language is a British sitcom broadcast on ITV. Created and written by Vince Powell, and directed by Stuart Allen, three series were produced by London Weekend Television between 1977 and 1979, and it was briefly revived in 1985 (or 1986 in most ITV regions) with six of the original cast members. Jeremy Brown, a language teacher, tries to make a living by teaching English to immigrants. With pupils from India, France, China, and many other countries, his lessons do not always go as planned.

Man About the House

Man About the House is a British sitcom created and written by Brian Cooke and Johnnie Mortimer, and starring Paula Wilcox, Sally Thomsett, Richard O'Sullivan, Brian Murphy, and Yootha Joyce. Six series were broadcast on ITV from 15 August 1973 to 7 April 1976. It was considered daring at the time because it featured a man sharing a London flat with two single women. Single roommates Chrissy and Jo search for a third tenant to help pay the rent, they intend on finding another female. But then they encounter Robin Tripp... who's looking for a place to stay. Two spin-offs were produced: George and Mildred (1976–79) and Robin's Nest (1977–81). A film adaptation was released in 1974 and, in 1977, the series was remade for American audiences as Three's Company.
