My Wife Next Door(1972)

My Wife Next Door is a BBC sitcom that aired in 1972, created by Brian Clemens and written by Richard Waring. George and Suzie Basset attempt to rebuild their lives separately after divorcing, but their fresh start in the countryside takes an awkward turn when they discover they've rented adjoining cottages. The series ran for 13 episodes, blending domestic comedy with the complications of proximity and unfinished business. Though it had modest viewership initially, My Wife Next Door found a larger audience during a 1979 repeat run, partly boosted by an ITV strike that concentrated viewers on BBC channels. The repeat broadcast became a ratings success, proving the charm of its premise had endured.
