Synopsis:

Paula Wilcox (Man About the House) stars in this six-part comedy series depicting the complicated life of Elizabeth Jones, a young woman coming to terms with the responsibility of looking after her baby alone at a time when single mothers faced widespread prejudice. Though sympathy and emotional support comes in the shape of next-door-neighbour and friend Geoffrey (Christopher Beeny - In Loving Memory), every step seems to bring fresh difficulties for Elizabeth - including the reproaches of her parents, a radically curtailed social life, and a much-reduced income... Miss Jones and Son came from the creative team responsible for And Mother Makes Three, Man About the House and Robin's Nest. It was notable for being the first British sitcom to depict a single mother. Presented here is the complete first series.
