Not in Front of the Children is a BBC Television sitcom, which ran for four series from 1967 to 1970.
It starred Wendy Craig as Jennifer Corner, a rather scatterbrained middle-class housewife. For her role she received the 1969 British Academy Television Award for Best Actress. Her husband Henry was a school art teacher, played by Paul Daneman in the Comedy Playhouse pilot "House in a Tree" and the first series, and Ronald Hines subsequently. They had three children, a boy in his early teens (played by Hugo Keith-Johnston) and two girls who were slightly younger (played by Roberta Tovey and then Verina Greenlaw, and Jill Riddick). Charlotte Mitchell played her friend Mary.
In later series, she had a baby, and they moved from the London suburb of Battersea 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 15 years.
