Miss Jones And Son (ITV 1977-1978, Paula Wilcox, Christopher Beeny)
Sitcom Miss Jones and Son saw determined single mum Elizabeth Jones bringing up her baby son alone. Elizabeth had been in a relationship for four years with journalist Alan Sadler but after he moved out she discovered she was pregnant.
In spite of parental opposition Elizabeth decides to keep her baby. Even though 1977 is not that far away there was still a significant amount of stigma attached to a young woman being pregnant out of wedlock and the series was considered slightly controversial because of that.
A good starring role for Paula Wilcox following the end of Man About The House.
