- TriviaIn 2011, Catherine Zeta-Jones invited David Jason to a rented house in Richmond to have Sunday lunch with her and her husband Michael Douglas. It was the first time Jason had seen Jones since she had wed Douglas; they had rented a magnificent property, and Douglas was in the pool playing with their sons. Jason considered him a great Hollywood star but Douglas was very relaxed as he came out the pool, dripping wet in Bermuda shorts and shook Jason's hand. Douglas thanked Jason for being generous with Jones and looking after her on the show. Jason was pleased he thought so.

It doesn't get much better!
I purchased the whole series "The Darling Buds of May" a few years ago and then watched the whole series within a few days. I grew up in the UK in the early sixties and this series reminded me so much of what life was like in England when I was growing up.
It is the best and purest form of escapism it fills one with a sense of longing for how life once was. The scenery, the lifestyle, the family and of course the farm are just "perfec" my favorite episode is the one called "Christmas is coming" (series 1 episode 7).
Even now, years later, I still find myself humming the opening theme song. It is one of the best feel good series that I have ever seen and the characters are so well played.
If you haven't seen the series do yourself a very big favour and go out and buy, borrow or steal it and then sit back and be prepared to be taken back to a time, long before laptops, iPhones, mobile phones and emails, where life was simple and almost idyllic.
