Moon And Son
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Moon and son" was a BBC TV series made in 1992 starring Millicent Martin ("That was the week that was") as a clairvoyant, Gladys Moon, and her very attractive psychic son, Trevor Moon, played by John Michie ("Taggart") who travelled between Folkestone in the UK and France, doing readings and selling occult and astrological goods from their mobile "salon" (called "Visions") and getting involved in various adventures along the way. Trevor seemed to be waiting for his dead father's money, although he was secretly fond of Gladys, and she was fond of a tipple or two!. The series had a similar theme tune and format to "Bergerac" ( with John Nettles) and ran for 13 episodes. It was cancelled after season one without explanation. It was filmed during a glorious summer in 1991 and co-starred Laure Killing as Cecille Coulmier, Trevor's girlfriend, and other characters included the zany Zelda (Anita Graham as another clairvoyant/medium friend of Gladys's) , Sergeant Eavis (Ian redford) in the UK and inspector Sardou in France (Patrick Drury) who all assisted the duo through their adventures. John Michie went on to star as Robbie Ross in the long running "Taggart" TV series and "Bare necessities" (in which he played a stripper!) and Millicent Martin, already famous for "That was the week that was" in the sixties, went on to star in an American soap "Days of our lives" and as another Mrs Moon (ironically enough!) "Daphne"s mother in the hit sit-com "Frasier". The "Moon and son" series seemed to end rather abruptly after a critically rather good first season. The series was created by Robert Banks-Stewart, who also wrote for the long running series "The Avengers" and "Doctor Who" in the 1960s and 1970s. To this date the series has only been repeated once on satellite tv and has never been released on DVD or video.
