Ever Decreasing Circles: The Complete Fourth Series

All seven episodes from the fourth series of the popular 1980s television comedy. Richard Briers plays Martin Bryce, well-meaning local busybody and enthusiastic convener of his suburban residents’ association, and Penelope Wilton stars as Ann, his long-suffering wife. The only threat to Martin’s settled existence is the presence of his new neighbour Paul (Peter Egan), a younger man who might just be paying too much attention to Martin’s wife, and who always seems to get the better of Martin in any exchange. In this series a health scare means Martin has to try and relax, he’s offered an opportunity to get Paul out of the neighborhood, and conflict over the right-of-way on a public footpath gives Martin a new campaign to get worked up about. Episodes are: ‘Relaxation’; ‘Goodbye Paul?’; ‘Stuck in a Loft’; ‘Neighborhood Watch’; ‘The Footpath’; ‘Jumping to Conclusions’ and ‘Half an Office.
