  Ronnie Corbett (The Two Ronnies) plays Timothy Lumsden a part specially written for him and has turned him into one of the best-loved comic figures on British television. Barbara Lott plays his domineering mother to perfection and his long-suffering father is portrayed by William Moore. Marguerite Hardiman features as Timothys sister Muriel. The problem is a delicate one as Tim still lives at home with his parents. His father who has long since retreated into a world of his own is not a threat to Timothy but his mother the domineering interfering kind has to be viewed more seriously.The trouble is that she simply refuses to recognise the fact that her son is no longer a little boy but rather a grown man despite his diminutive stature with perfectly normal if persistently thwarted drives and instincts. And not wishing to offend his mother Timothy usually suffers her seemingly well-meaning intentions. It is obvious that she rules not only the house but also Timothy through a campaign of sustained yet subtle (and often hilarious) psychological terror tactics!

  Corbett was cast as Timothy Lumsden a 41-year-old librarian (ageing eventually to 48) still tied to his mother's apron strings. Timothy was a smart enough chap witty and bright although his discomfort with women often caused him to blush stammer and blurt out stupid things in their presence. This awkwardness owed to the overpowering influence of his mother Phyllis a scheming spiteful harridan determined to undermine her son's confidence and to keep him firmly under her thumb. Phyllis Lumsden was truly a monstrous creation so hideous that it was difficult to feel too much sympathy for anyone prepared to hang around such a Gorgon especially as Timothy seemed to discount matricide as a suitable solution to his problems. His father Sidney suffered similarly and often joined Timothy in silent defiance of Phyllis but she usually managed to crush their resistance as would a steamroller. Timothy's sister Muriel who had escaped the family home was often on hand with sympathetic advice. Episodes comprise: 1. For Love Or Mummy 2. Buttons 3. The Godfather 4. Bachelor Seeks Anywhere 5.
