Not in Front of the Children is a BBC television situation comedy, which ran for four series from 1967 to 1970.
It starred Wendy Craig as a rather scatter-brained middle class housewife. Her husband was a school art teacher, played by Paul Daneman in the first series, and Ronald Hines after this. They had three children, a boy in his early teens (played by Peter Levy) and two girls who were slightly younger (one played by Roberta Tovey). Charlotte Mitchell played her friend Mary.
In later series she had a baby, and they moved from the suburbs to the country.
It is significant mainly as Wendy Craig's first role as a scatty housewife; she played similar roles in several other series over the next fifteen years.
