Listen to this episode:
honor blackman also played the mum character in the british re-make of ‘who’s the boss?’ “aaanjjuler!”
Wait, there was a British version of Who’s the Boss? lol
I just found it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Upper_Hand_(TV_series)
The show’s title was The Upper Hand and it’s original run was 1990 to 1996.
Did Who’s the Boss? ever air in England as well?
it did in the late 80s, very late on friday nights and if i remember right, before ‘sledge hammer’…
Back when the Brits used to copy our sitcoms, now it’s 100% in reverse. No original thoughts this side of the pond.
