Synopsis:

They went their separate ways…but ended up as neighbours! These divorcees tried to get away from it all, especially each other, but their fresh starts are beginning to look suspiciously like their old ones…
When George and Suzy Bassett (John Alderton and Hannah Gordon) finalise their divorce, they're both eager for a new start in life. When they both decide to relocate to the countryside however, they are appalled to discover that they have accidentally moved into neighbourly cottages! 'This little gem from the BBC is something of a rarity' British Classic Comedy The hilarious BAFTA winning sitcom was inspired by the rising divorce rates following the sexual liberations of the 1960s. Former BBC Broadcast Executive Sir Bill Cotton once cited My Wife Next Door as evidence that with the right treatment, any subject could be made funny. According to the Guardian the series made the concept of divorce watchable by treating the couple with affection and respect.

My Wife Next Door is a British sitcom created by Brian Clemens and written by Richard Waring. The programme is about a couple, George Basset (John Alderton) and Suzie Basset (Hannah Gordon). Each tries to start afresh after their divorce. They move to the country, only to find that they have moved into adjoining cottages. One episode of the series won a British Academy Television Award for Best Situation Comedy in 1973. When the series was repeated in 1979 it gained more viewers than during its original run, and topped the BBC 1 weekly ratings several times.
