In the funny yet poignant second series, bored housewife Ria (Wendy Craig) remains frustrated by life with her detached dentist husband and glib sons. She has failed dismally at mastering boring and repetitive tasks such as cooking and cleaning. Custard has to be helped out of the jug while her gravy has lumps that would have sunk the Titanic! In the pursuit of escape from her domestic chores, Ria finds herself presiding over the slow tragicomical breakdown of her family unit.Ria continues her platonic relationship with divorced businessman Leonard (Bruce Montague) but it seems to result in more confusion than pleasure. Although most viewers wouldn't think twice about such a conceit now, in the late '70s this was considered a radical concept for a sitcom, and Butterflies helped break down some gender stereotypes that were prevalent at the time. This double disc set contains all seven episodes from the second series of this bittersweet comedy plus the rarely seen Christmas Special from 1979.
