Yes, Honestly: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Yes, Honestly is a British sitcom that aired 1976–77. It starred Donal Donnelly as Matthew Browne, and Liza Goddard as Lily Pond Browne. The series followed the course of their relationship, from first meeting – when unsuccessful music composer Matthew (affectionately known as Matt), who has little if any time for women, hires Lily Pond, a beautiful and witty woman of Russian ancestry as his typist – to their eventual marriage. It was a sequel to No, Honestly and was written by Terence Brady and Charlotte Bingham and produced by Humphrey Barclay. The theme song for the first series was composed and performed by Georgie Fame; but the second series used an instrumental version of "No Honestly" written by Lynsey de Paul.
