Conjugal Rites + Dr Willoughby + The Creatives

Conjugal Rites was a sitcom starring Gwen Taylor (Duty Free, A Bit Of A Do, The Sharp End, Screaming, A Perfect State, Pilgrim's Rest, Barbara, Heartbeat) and Michael Williams (A Fine Romance, Double First, A Dance To The Music Of Time, September Song, Love In A Cold Climate).
"Gen is married to dentist Barry Masefield. Now that their children, Philip and Gillian, are grown up, Gen embarks on a new career as a practising solicitor.Gradually, Gen and Barry find themselves drifting apart and it becomes increasingly difficult to keep their marriage going."
This is from old video tape and ran for 13 episodes but I have only the first 5 courtesy of one of you out there. Thank you!


Dr Willoughby starred Joanna Lumley (The Avengers, Sapphire & Steel, Class Act, Absolutely Fabulous, Up In Town, Sensitive Skin, Jam & Jerusalem, Mistresses) as
"Donna Sinclair who plays Dr Willoughby in a daytime hospital drama. On screen, she's a caring, sensitive surgeon who saves lives left right and centre. Off screen, she's an opinionated, overbearing woman who's obsessed with her own importance. She'll go to any lengths to make herself look good and her colleagues seem unimportant." Small files, but they play okay.

The Creatives was another sitcom set in an advertising agency. It ran for 12 episodes but I have only the first 6. It starred Pippa Gaurd (Roger Roger, Hope And Glory, Hearts And Bones, The Mallens, The Country Diary Of An Edwardian Lady), Arabella Weir (Posh Nosh, The Fast Show), Jack Docherty (The Cup, Absolutely), Roger Allam (The Thick Of It, Ashes To AShes, Kröd Mändoon And The Flaming Sword Of Fire) and Moray Hunter (The Cup, Absolutely).
