Miss Jones and Son - The Complete First Series [DVD]

Product Information

In "From Here to Maternity", Elizabeth's former long-term partner Alan has arrived, but Elizabeth doesn't want him to know that she has a child under the belief that he would feel obligated to marry her. As such, she passes Geoffrey off as her husband. "A Kid For Three Fathers" also shows some tension when Geoffrey is asked once to pretend to be Elizabeth's husband for a family member of hers, leading to her having to ask for Peter. Peter however is busy, leading to Elizabeth having to go to some lengths.

In "For What We Are Not About To Receive", Elizabeth is forced to babysit some babies thanks to some Ambiguous Syntax (she wanted to be babysat, but several unmarried mothers misunderstood it as her wanting to babysit). This causes issues when the Health Visitor arrives and, mistaking her identity, Elizabeth tears her a new one. The wonderful Paula Wilcox was a popular star of Man About the House and this served as a follow-up of sorts for her. Though Robin (Richard O'Sullivan) was the main character of that series and always first billed, every episode featured Paula in a key role. And very often she was the lead character of an episode. This time Paula as the title character is unequivocally the lead. In January 2012, Jones developed and launched Jonesyradio.com, but due to Hurricane Sandy, the broadcast was short-lived.
