Encyclopedia
Bloomers was a short-lived British
sitcom starring Richard Beckinsale
that was aired in 1979. It was in production in 1979 but only five episodes were made before Beckinsale died suddenly from a heart attack
just before a planned rehearsal for the sixth and final episode of the first series. Bloomers was immediately shelved, though the five completed episodes were broadcast later in the same year.

Beckinsale's character, Stan, was apt to wind up in bed with lonely housewives, and equally apt to spend time with said housewives musing on philosophy and the pointlessness of life.
