Armchair comedy from an innocent age

Just watched this comedic curiosity and thoroughly enjoyed it's quirky take on marriage and morals in the mid 60s. Nice portrayal of a bored housewife trying to get excitement into her hum drum life by conning shops by pretending their are problems with their goods. With many future stars in the cast including Adrienne Posta (in a brief role) John Savident, Margaret Nolan, Susan George it's nice to see that it's survived when many shows from the period were wiped.
