Never the Twain

Simon Peel and Oliver Smallbridge are not the easiest of neighbours. Simon is a blue blooded Oxbridge snob while Oliver is a former barrowboy with a chip on his shoulder - the only things they have in common is their ownership of rival antique shops, and a willingness to stoop to endless lengths to do the other down. But when Simon’s son and Oliver’s daughter begin to show more than a passing interest in each other, what was a mutual cold war rapidly turns into something decidedly hotter! Starring Donald Sinden and Windsor Davies as two curmudgeonly antique dealers, Never the Twain rapidly became one of Thames Television’s most popular comedies. (Via Vision Entertainment)
