Sorry! - Series 1 DVD

Corbett was cast as Timothy Lumsden a 41-year-old librarian (ageing eventually to 48) still tied to his mother's apron strings. Timothy was a smart enough chap witty and bright although his discomfort with women often caused him to blush stammer and blurt out stupid things in their presence. This awkwardness owed to the overpowering influence of his mother Phyllis a scheming spiteful harridan determined to undermine her son's confidence and to keep him firmly under her thumb. Phyllis Lumsden was truly a monstrous creation so hideous that it was difficult... to feel too much sympathy for anyone prepared to hang around such a Gorgon especially as Timothy seemed to discount matricide as a suitable solution to his problems. His father Sidney suffered similarly and often joined Timothy in silent defiance of Phyllis but she usually managed to crush their resistance as would a steamroller. Timothy's sister Muriel who had escaped the family home was often on hand with sympathetic advice. Episodes comprise: 1. For Love Or Mummy 2. Buttons 3. The Godfather 4. Bachelor Seeks Anywhere 5.
