[1] Created by the writing duo of Vince Powell and Harry Driver, the popular sitcom starred Irene Handl as the widow Ada and Wilfred Pickles as her love interest, the gravedigger Walter.
The sitcom stars Irene Handl as Ada Cresswell, a Cockney widow, a pensioner who is prone to malapropisms.
For the Love of Ada spawned an American remake called A Touch of Grace that premiered on ABC in January 1973.
This version starred Shirley Booth and J. Pat O'Malley as Grace Simpson and Herbert Morrison, who like their English counterparts fall in love.
The American version faced very tough competition from All In The Family and drew low ratings, resulting in its cancellation in April 1973 after 13 episodes, but ABC ran reruns of the show in prime time until June 1973.
