Rewind TV came to the rescue when it began showing the gloriously funny sitcom You're Only Young Twice this week It shone out of schedules packed with Euro-trash - otherwise known as Eurovision.

Paradise is not lost as Rewind repeats Pat and Peggy sitcom

Since when has one-night only not been enough for the epic song contest?

Or you could watch Martin Clunes on his holidays, Jane McDonald cruising or, in exactly the same vein - vain would be just as apt - Susan Calman enjoying sailing the world.

When thousands of people in the country struggle to make ends meet, eschewing luxuries like holidays, such programmes amount to 'rubbing our noses in it'.

Step forward, You're Only Young Twice. It was created and written by Michael Ashton and Pam Valentine and ran on ITV over four series from 1977 to 1981.

It starred the incomparable Peggy Mount and Pat Coombs, two of our most talented and lamented character actresses.
