This is a question for older MNetters, as it's a series that was on in the late 70s, early 80s.
A friend of mine has been describing a sitcom he loved and he can't remember who was in it or what it was called - so it's all been a bit needle in a haystack as Google is no good for this.
He says it involved two women who were either divorced or widowed and who decided to set up home together as chums. They had both been crazy about a particular guy at university and bumped into him again recently.
He had spun them a yarn about working for MI5 or something like that, but when they bumped into him he was working in a greasy spoon cafe.
They took him home to live in their big house (not as a menage a trois or anything).
That's what he remembers, and he's driving me mad and asking everyone he knows, and asking me to ask everyone I know ... so I thought, why not ask the MN Collective.
