Synopsis:

The sky's the limit! Actress and comedienne Millicent Martin and American actress Patte Finley star as high-spirited air stewardesses facing one dizzy dilemma after another in this rarely seen ITC series made in 1969. Martin plays the well-meaning but dangerously impulsive Millie - whose heart invariably rules her head - while Finley stars as Maggie, her anguished American colleague who knows that every trip will be a flight into the unknown. Their exploits cause endless consternation for long-suffering boss Mr. Beauchamp (Peter Jones), but Millie's Irish uncle, Bert (Robert Cawdron), is always on hand to offer his unique brand of advice... From a Birds Eye View broke new ground for a TV situation comedy, for the first time pairing two established comediennes in an Anglo American comedy series. The series also boasted direction by U.S. comedy veteran Ralph Levy - whose previous work included I Love Lucy and The Beverly Hillbillies - and drew on the talents of legendary actor and producer Sheldon Leonard (The Andy Griffith Show, I Spy). The complete series of From a Birds Eye View is presented here, for the very first time in any format.

British Millie and American Maggie were stewardesses for International Airlines. Millie was very sweet, but kind of a twit, and was always getting into trouble, thanks to her penchant for sticking her nose into other peoples' business. Maggie was more level-headed, and was usually pressed into action trying to extricate Millie (and herself) from whatever trouble she had gotten herself into. Mr. Beauchamp was their stuffy English boss, Miss Fosdyke his secretary and Bert was Millie's uncle.
