She’s losing her wits and he’s at his wits’ end!

Starring Ruth Cracknell and Garry McDonald, Mother & Son is the hilarious Australian, award winning classic comedy about the relationship between the newly divorced Arthur and his aging and very eccentric mother, Maggie.

Torn between a social conscience that dictates he should look after his mother in her old age and the need to live a normal life while he’s still in his prime, Arthur tries to accommodate his mother’s constant demands for affection and attention. With Maggie vague but vicious and more arsenic than old lace, the daily chaotic events usually leave the contented Maggie unaware and the beleaguered Arthur in a dilemma and tied to Maggie’s apron strings, if she could just remember where she put the apron...

INCLUDES: The Money / The Divorce / The Funeral / The Promotion / The Aunt / The Card Game / The Morning After

5.0 out of 5 stars Season Three--Six Please?, March 22, 2011

This review is from: Mother and Son: Season 2 (DVD)

This is such a GREAT UK series! This show aired with Six-Seasons from 1983 through 1993 and had a total of (42) episodes. I used to watch it in the eighties when they aired in the USA on a PBS Station. I have both Season 1 & 2, and Im still waiting years later for Seasons 3,4,5 & 6. Whats the hold-up!?? Im not getting any younger! I'd like to see the rest of the shows before I end up like old Maggie...Does Amazon have a 'request/suggestion' section? Let Amazon know what you think. These DVDS are really worth it! PS: also check out 'One Foot In The Grave"

This review is from: Mother and Son: Season 2 (DVD)

This is a wonderful dvd set for the person who likes clean comedy. It is based on a mother, who her family thinks has lost her marbles but isn't quite sure if that's it or if she is just crazy like a fox. Ruth Cracknell does a great job portraying the mother, maggie, who's son arthur lives with her and helps look out for her.It's funny from start to finish. I love this dvd set and look forward to the next season on dvd!

I love this! I used to watch it with my kids years ago. I have looked for the series for quite some time and was so thrilled that I was able to find it.
