Sweet Sixteen (1983)
No offense, Kay-29 ...
;-) ... but as a die-hard "To the Manor Born" fan since the late eighties (my formidable teen years, no less), I'm an American who was likewise horrified by "Sweet Sixteen", LOL. It wasn't 'just' the age difference ... it was the *combination* of Keith and the age difference.
The story itself moved relatively fast, and the idea of a strong woman running a construction company ... especially back in the eighties ... was both interesting and progressive. And for that aspect of the character, Keith worked very well. But the relationship. ... Nope. I fear quite a few fans of "Good Neighbours", and especially "To the Manor Born", ran away in stark terror.
Make no mistake, I *am* a very avid Keith fan. I know her as 'Margot', and I positively adore her as 'Audrey'. I've even seen her in snippets from her newer British shows (eg. "Next of Kin"). But no way could I handle her "Sweet Sixteen". Absolutely no offense intended though, Kay-29 ... I watched Good Neighbours pretty religiously too. :-)
