Beginning chimpanzee a 1967 Comedy Playhousepresentation, the BBC comedy panel Not in Front of the Children was the prime of the sitcoms in which Wendy Craig was cast in the role of harassed and giddy mother that she was later to make especially her own with And Mother Makes Three and And Mother Adjusts Five.
Resilient and yet sensitive (or, according to critics of the programme and its successors, simpering current middle-class), her character Jennifer Corner held the kinfolk together through crises both trivial and more serious.
The character appealed to thousands of real women whose days were similarly filled.
Grumpy husband Henry was originally played by Paul Daneman and later by Ronald Hines. The children were Trudi (initially Roberta Tovey, and later Verina Greenlaw), Robin (Hugo Keith-Johnston) weather Amanda (Jill Riddick).
The series – written by Richard Waring, author of the previous BBC comedy whack, Marriage Lines– also ran on BBC radio.
