Moving In (Series 1, 01/07)
Shelley is a British sitcom made by Thames Television and originally broadcast on ITV from 12 July 1979 to 12 January 1984 and from 11 October 1988 to 1 September 1992. It stars Hywel Bennett as Dr James Shelley, 28 years old (at the outset, although 35 by the sixth series only 4 years later) and a sardonic, perpetually unemployed anti-establishment ‘freelance layabout’ with a doctoral degree. In the original run, Belinda Sinclair played Shelley’s girlfriend Fran, and Josephine Tewson appeared regularly as his landlady, Edna Hawkins. The series was created by Peter Tilbury who also wrote the first three series. The scripts for subsequent episodes were by Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin, Colin Bostock-Smith, David Frith, Bernard McKenna and Barry Pilton.

Note: I’ve skipped ahead to the first of the “rebooted” episodes (and the first with Diana Rigg) as the earlier, lower budget episodes were a bit of a dead spot in the schedule, but may return to them at a later date.
