About Ever Decreasing Circles

Ever Decreasing Circles ended on December 24, 1989, after its fourth season aired on BBC One.

The show was a comedy series that originally premiered in 1984 and depicted the life of Martin Bryce, who lived in a quiet suburban cul de sac. Martin was the chairman of numerous clubs and believed himself to be the central figure of his community. His routine life was disrupted when Paul Ryman moved in next door, challenging Martin's sense of order and stability. The series explored the humorous dynamics between these neighbors and the social fabric of their neighborhood.

The cast included Richard Briers as Martin Bryce, Penelope Wilton as Ann Bryce, Peter Egan as Paul Ryman, Stanley Lebor as Howard Hughes, and Geraldine Newman as Hilda Hughes. It remains a notable example of British sitcoms from the 1980s, capturing the everyday quirks and social interactions of suburban life.
