Jane Hall + Rescue Me

A couple of comedy-drama series.

Jane Hall (47 minute eps) featured Sarah Smart (At Home With The Braithwaites, Murder Prevention, Funland, Five Days, Wallander) as a shy unemployed woman who relocates from Huddersfield to Hounslow and moves in with old university pal Richard. Once ensconced in the house he shares with two other friends, she embarks on an exciting new life - as the driver of a London bus. Also features: Gillian Taylforth (The Rag Trade, Watch This Space, The Bill), Stephen Mangan (Adrian Mole, Green Wing, Never Better, Free Agents, Episodes), Geraldine James (The Jewel in the Crown, Blott on the Landscape, Band Of Gold, Seesaw, Kavanagh QC, The Sins, Amazing Mrs Pritchard, The Time of Your Life), Robert Glenister (Chancer, Spooks, Hustle), Nintin Ganatra (The Jury, Rescue Me, Being April, Meet The Magoons, Mumbai Calling).

Rescue Me (50-minute eps)...I held off on this one for a long time in hopes the missing 2nd episode would turn up. It also has Dutch subtitles. Stars Sally Phillips (Fist of Fun, I'm Alan Partridge, In The Red, Hippies, Smack The Pony, Green Wing, Amazing Mrs Pritchard, Jam & Jerusalem, Miranda) as a recently divorced  relationship features writer at a women's magazine. Also features Stewart Wright (Bonkers, Doc Martin, Wild West, World of Pub), Oliver Chris (The Office, According To Bex, Green Wing, Bonkers).
