Such a wonderful series. I wish all married couples loved each other this much, and all husbands were as nice as William. Miss the good ol' decades, 70s, 80s, and 90s.
@@susansherlock6934 oh no... in some cases there are rare couples who r like this My mom and dad touch wood had 40 years of good relationship... these series reminds me so much of them.
Marvellous comedy series, when telly was entertaining and funny! Also, recently rediscovered another 80's series, 'After Henry', which I'd forgotten about. Good times!
The reason the Financial Times is pink.On 2 January 1893 the FT began printing on light salmon-pink paper to distinguish it from the similarly named Financial News: at the time it was also cheaper to print on unbleached paper (several other more general newspapers such as The Sporting Times had the same policy)
I cannot imagine why this is not showing on any streaming platforms now! I was glad to find it here because I just love it and have to watch it every so often! Thanks
I remember watching this on PBS back in the 80s. It was one of my favorite comedy shows. I remember thinking how old both he and she looked because I was a teenager, then to my chagrin as I'm looking at it now I'm thinking how young they look. Lol. Lol
Watching the series for the 6-7th tine from Texas... love the Britcoms and this is right up there w my favs. Just discovered the sequel French Fields, also wonderful!!
Well - no need to get excited.......you weren't missing much. *only kidding - I grew up with these comedies, which you weren't able to see, until now.....*
That horrible moment when you watched tv in the 80s as a kid and wanted to be michael knight or terry mcann but ended up as anton rogers. : ( Midlife crisis 90210
Just happened upon these by accident. I'm in America and our television shows are hideous. I love the old British comedies. Thanks for uploading. Nice seeing 'Miss Marple' in her younger days.
He played the part of a pompous twit constantly worried about his "image" and reputation. I remember that the mother-in-law was constantly drinking hard liquor. But a fun show for the times. The line I remember was "It's only me, Sonia!" In the last show, they dumped a pail of water over her.
I first saw this show on PBS in the late 1990s. I liked the episodes "a waiting game where William volunteers as a bartender at a party hester is catering to, and the episode "caught in the act when William and Hester's daughter Emma's in laws visit, and finding them unbearable they decide to hide from them. A really shame most of the cast is not around.
This series part of a fashion in the 80s to give actors primarily known for their theatre work a sitcom on ITV / Channel 4. Apart from this, we had the likes of Judy Dench and her husband Michael Williams in "A Fine Romance", Hywel Bennett in "Shelley" and Simon Callow in "Chance in a Million".
hi it's scott here thank you 4 reloading freshfields as Julia McKenzie and Anton Rodgers are a great parent just like Terry Scott and June Whitfield then it a great husband and wife but I see you're missing the episode a Dickens of a Christmas it was forecast over Christmas it was broadcast on the 25th of the 12th on ITV3
Is this the only episode where "Tom", their other child is mentioned? Wonder what the story was behind writing him out. Also bewildered at about 18:00 I am not catching the reference "what you got up to in little hampton" "wait till you hear about what we got up to in Watson underneath?"
I Just watched dirty rotten scoundrels, and didn't realise the French police chief in that, was the husband here !👮they even use the same "theme music" lol ! lol..The mother-in-law is living a bit too close for my liking! 😒☠

My wife and I love these old English comedies. She found this one and now I am hooked too.
Such a wonderful series. I wish all married couples loved each other this much, and all husbands were as nice as William. Miss the good ol' decades, 70s, 80s, and 90s.
I wish the whole world was as lovely as these were, world be a much better safer happier place
It's a fictional TV programme, sorry to spoil your fantasies!

Indeed.😺
What a show, the British are the best on comedy , discovered it today 😃
Marvellous comedy series, when telly was entertaining and funny! Also, recently rediscovered another 80's series, 'After Henry', which I'd forgotten about. Good times!
Yes. After Henry❤

The Brits know how to make great shows. I love British shows the most. Thanks for sharing this!
The character of Hester, played by Julia McKenzie, was just delightful!
Childhood memories, the theme just sticks in my head. Very good series.
I cannot imagine why this is not showing on any streaming platforms now! I was glad to find it here because I just love it and have to watch it every so often! Thanks
An absolutely delightful series!!!
Hello, greetings from the States. What we have here is a British Lucille Ball, they both get into all sorts of wacky situations 😉
Absolutely agree. Julia McKenzie also has a gorgeous sing voice but sadly our Hester doesn't sing.
One of the many great classic British sitcoms. Tight script, great actors, set & lighting....
Classic Comedy I Just Bought It This Morning I Haven't Seen It Since I Was A Kid 1984 The Wham! Years

I’m in denial. I can’t be their age. 😜
Nothing beats British Comedy.
This is the dregs of it, like pretty much all the other ITV sitcoms
Pinner was also named in the other tv sitcom he did…..’May to December’
Watching the series for the 6-7th tine from Texas... love the Britcoms and this is right up there w my favs. Just discovered the sequel French Fields, also wonderful!!
This IS Fresh Fields.
This has stood up well. Good pace, tight script and a lovely chemistry
I guess William, and I share one aspect. We both love Shepherd's pie. I just finished eating it for lunch.
classic freshfield tv show of the 80s era miss the show r.i.p l grew up watching it good actress and actor julia macmc kenzie and anton rodges .

It was indeed. Brilliant writing and acting all around. 😊
I completely missed all TV of the late 70's and 80's as I joined the army and was posted abroad most of the time.
Thanks for all of these.
Well - no need to get excited.......you weren't missing much.
*only kidding - I grew up with these comedies, which you weren't able to see, until now.....*
Thank you ☺
Great chemistry between the leads.
It's only Sonia!!
Hilariously funny show. Loved it when it first came on tv and still love it now. Thanks for uploading!
Thanks Dave Smith for uploading, my family and I love Fresh Fields
Sonia makes me laugh still 😂❤

Brilliant, thanks for these videos, brings back memories of when I was a kid xx
Used to love this show been looking for ages
he was great actor anton rodgers i like him may to december as well
He was superb in May to December!
I saw Anton in a theatre production in London in 1982 called windy city with Anton and Dennis Waterman two great actors. Anton was great
Loved Anton in May to December as well
One of my favourites

Reminds me of my late mother and father
Is it just me or is that a great idea for a restaurant? I wonder if it has ever been done.

Anton Rodgers was a very versatile actor who didn’t really achieve the level of fame he should have done.
RIP Anton.x
I was today years old when I found out that Anton Rodgers isn’t Scottish (grew up on May to December).
Best comedy I loved it in the 1980s And 1990s
Thank you !!! Enjoyed watching back in the day !!!
This could never be remade in 2020 unfortunately.

Love it!!!
Wasn't this just ITV's answer to Terry and June?
Thank you for the upload, Hestet's outfit a little daring.
hi it's scott here thank you 4 reloading freshfields as Julia McKenzie and Anton Rodgers are a great parent just like Terry Scott and June Whitfield then it a great husband and wife but I see you're missing the episode a Dickens of a Christmas it was forecast over Christmas it was broadcast on the 25th of the 12th on ITV3
You cant have shows like that nowadays, so saaaddddd
A good bombastic opening theme
Anton Rodgers looks like Eric Morecambe.
Is this the only episode where "Tom", their other child is mentioned? Wonder what the story was behind writing him out. Also bewildered at about 18:00 I am not catching the reference "what you got up to in little hampton" "wait till you hear about what we got up to in Watson underneath?"

thank you from manhattan ©2024
Didn't it become French Fields after a couple of seasons?
domformula1 yes when Hester and William immigrate to France.
Only Sonia!!
“More coffee please” I’d poison him.
I came across this awesome funny sitcom when I typed in BBC's full sitcom
Strange seeing as this wasnt a BBC series
Damn making me feel old 🙈🙈
no pancake tossing in this episode!
Has a 'Happy Ever After' feel to it, but with the roles reversed. I think it had the same writer if I'm not mistaken.
Shows promise.
Thanks for the upload.. xd
I remember the title.
golly - this is my era, but i really don't remember it! was it ITVs version of Terry & June? it's actually less trite :)
Outdoor shooting in Teddington, London for the house on Hampton Road.
the wine glasses at 14:00 sloppy
some gaff though
When England was England.
I’ve watched this show last year lol back again love the series. Watching French fields. It’s ok but not as good as fresh fields
What did hester said after william first sentence, something like naughty girl hester talk to table
Mustn't talk at table

Only thing I don’t like is the laughter (canned?).
Where can I find a wife like this? I'm not very good with women because I'm so ugly. I've tried eBay.
