'No, Honestly' was a British sitcom that was originally produced in 1974.
'No, Honestly' featured the real-life married couple of Pauline Collins and John Alderton respectively as Clara and Charles (or CD) Danby, a newlywed couple living in London. (The two also appeared together in 'Upstairs, Downstairs').
The character of Clara was a ditzy dreamer who hoped to write books for children. Charles Danby by contrast was a struggling actor with a more serious streak.
At the start of each episode, the couple appeared in front of an audience telling stories about their first meeting, courtship and life as newlyweds. The entire program, therefore, was a series of flashbacks as the couple recounted the earlier days of their romance.
Filled with witty and sparkling banter, the episodes featured comic situations ranging from problems with mistaken identity to decorating and makeover mishaps.
Thirteen half hour episodes of 'No, Honestly' were produced.
In homage to George Burns and Gracie Allen, CD would end each episode with the phrase "Say goodnight, Clara."
The series is based on the novels 'Coronet Among the Weeds' and 'Coronet Among the Grass' written by Charlotte Bingham, who was co-creator of the TV series with Terence Brady, her husband.
The theme song for 'No, Honestly' was written and performed by Lynsey De Paul. It peaked on the UK charts at number 7.
A subsequent television series entitled 'Yes, Honestly' starred Liza Goddard and Donal Donnelly as married couple Lily and Matthew Browne.
