Encyclopedia > Life With The Lyons

Life With The Lyons was a British radio and television domestic sitcom.


It was unusual in that it featured a real-life American family. Ben Lyon and his wife Bebe Daniels settled in London during the Second World War and featured with the comedian Vic Oliver in the radio series Hi, Gang! that ran from 1940 to 1949. Life With the Lyons followed on from this and, together with Ben and Bebe, featured their children Richard and Barbara Lyon. Although scripted, it expanded on real-life events (but it was definitely not reality television).


Molly Weir was their housekeeper Aggie Macdonald and Doris Rogers was the nosey neighbour Florrie Wainwright. Three cinema films were produced and the show then transferred to BBC television, where Horace Percival played Mr Wimple. It later transferred to ITV.
