New TV comedy
A new seven-part situation comedy, “Duty Free” - which will begin screening on One tomorrow night — is the latest from the pen of the award-winning British writer, Eric Chappell, of “Rising Damp,” “Only When I Laugh” and “The Bounder” fame. In “Duty Free,” an unemployed draughtsman, David ?earce (Keith Barron), recently made redundant after 20 years with his firm, blows his redundancy money on a morale-boost-ing, to-hell-with-it-all spree - a package holiday to Spain which he can ill afford. While there he has a holiday romance with Linda Cochran (Joanna Van Gyseghem), an attractive, sophisticated holiday-maker of rather more substantial means. Unfortunately, for David, his wife (Gwen Taylor) is on the holiday too and is looking on it as a second honeymoon. And Linda is with her husband (Neil Stacy). Joanna Van Gyseghem, who plays Linda, will be best known to New Zealand television viewers as Susan in the British series “Pig in the Middle.”
