Mrs Thursday

Mrs Thursday is a 1966-1967 comedy starring Kathleen Harrison in the title role. This is not a sitcom. It doesn't have an audience laugh track and it's not an endless run of one-liners. Wiki calls it a comedy-drama, but there isn't much heavy drama in the well-scripted 45 minute episodes. It's more reminiscent of the many British comedy films of  the 1950's and 1960's. A third series of 12 episodes remains unavailable for unknown reasons. In 1966 it was the #1 show on British TV. It was more or less a swan song for Kathleen Harrison who was a film and stage legend at that point, appearing in films back to the early 1920's. She lived to be 103, but wasn't very active in the 1970's and lived out the last 25 years of her life away from acting. Many familiar faces turn up in these episodes. Some people popular at that time and others who became so in later decades.
