THE LABOURS OF ERICA, Series 1 and 2

In this classic Britcom, Erica (Brenda Blethyn, Vera) realizes that she has so far spent her life only looking after other people. Since the death of her husband on their wedding night, she has divided the time between the needs of her son, Jeremy (Paul Spurrier, Eullenia) and her boss, Dexter (Geoffrey Davies, Doctor in the House) with who she's been having an unsatisfactory affair for the past 12 years. Now Jeremy is 16 and is a managing director of a successful computer company and Dexter wants love, involvement and passion - like her, but with as many women as possible. Within a few hours, Erica gives up her lover, her job and her chances of marriage. Then she finds her teenage diary containing a list of "Twelve things I am going to do before I am Forty." The discovery symbolizes all the hopes and dreams she has never achieved and heralds the start of a startling change in Erica's approach to life. (Series 1- 6 EPS, 1989; Series 2- 6 EPS, 1990)
