Third Time Lucky is a British sitcom originally aired on ITV for seven episodes from 6 August to 17 September 1982.

After seven years, George and Beth parted ways and both remarried: George to Millie and Beth to Bruce. However, both of these second marriages also ended in divorce, so it's fair to say that George and Beth aren't having much luck when it comes to domestic bliss.
