Solo

After the good life

Solo aired on BBC1 from 1981 to 1982. Starring Felicity Kendal, Solo was written by Carla Lane, a writer well known for having previously written the sitcom Butterflies.

Following the success of The Good Life, Kendal was given her own sitcom, Solo, where she plays Gemma Palmer, a woman who changes her life after discovering her live-in boyfriend has had an affair.

Following the success of the BBC sitcom The Good Life, each of its four main stars were given their own programme with them as the lead, and Solo was Kendal's. Similar to Carla Lane's sitcom Butterflies, Solo has a serious theme but still has humour. The programme was produced by Gareth Gwenlan.
