@Gordon Bricker. This film has got nothing to do with adultery. It's partly about a couple staying together even though they aren't happy in each other's company. If the postman had found the Scottish widow and hung up his bag on her coat pegs, not to finish his delivery and the wife had let her dinner date up to her newly papered and painted bedroom, then it would have been about adultery

People were not meant to be unfaithful to one another once they made a commitment to love, honor, and cherish one another, just as they were not meant to be unfaithful or disobedient to God. When someone commits infidelity, that person is going against God’s plan. It also requires a callousness of the heart that is insensitive to the emotions of their partner.

this was a great story, and at some point it was filmed in Largs, West Coast of Scotland where we just moved, it was even more fun because we travel with the postman to the island with a ferry that nowdays is only for the islanders because of covid restrictions. I totally loved what the postman did, traveling to deliver letters on a bike, which is what someone in Switzerland is doing to this day, of course letters not through the Royal Mail, but private letters that friends start to give the Swiss postman and from then on it is what he does every summer!!! Great stuff, thank you for uploading it

Lovely being reminded of this again - the footage of James Bolam and Alison Steadman's house is all filmed in my road in Poole, Dorset. It was a tad surreal leaving for work each morning for a few weeks and finding Alison Steadman talking to my cat on the front wall! Oddly poignant seeing so much footage of Hamworthy and Poole from 24 or so years back and noticing how much has changed, just as everywhere does of course.
