Does anyone know the name of the bbc comedy t.v. show in the 70s or 80s situated in New Zealand or Australia? The middle age son is living with the mother & his brother is a successful dentist.

It believe it was Mother and Son ... starring Gary McDonald (aka Norman Gunston) and Ruth Cracknell. Still see reruns over here now and then. Ruth Cracknell was Maggie (the manipulating elderly Mother) and Gary McDonald was Arthur (the long suffering son). I think the older brother was a dentist...       Great Aussie show!
