Terry and June sound really cute and a nice change! I'm sure my mom will enjoy it. She loves so many British shows and I'll share your recommendation with her. Attitudes of the time don't bother me, but thanks for sharing that. That's a really great price for a boxed set too. We have "Are you being Served" and "Faulty Towers" full sets. We still quote some of the lines from each show when it's fitting.Tiffs, you might like Terry and June. A gentle sitcom where June had an incredibly posh accent as well as other characters, that was hilariously funny. In fact, the boxset is currently available on Sky, but of the 65 episodes made, there's only 60 available and none of the specials, so the other day I bought the DVD boxset from Amazon to get everything and it only cost me £14.99 with free shipping.
Note that some of the gags reflect attitudes of the time that unfortunately wouldn't be said in today's politically correct world, but are very funny and I think yourself and your mom will like this program.

Here's someone's blog post about the politically correct trigger warnings applied to this program and I agree with them.

Beware of Terry and June
Britbox has applied a “trigger warning” to the most inoffensive of sitcoms.andrewdoyle.substack.com
Thanks for the links. I'll take a look at them more likely at the beginning of the week as tomorrow is the US Mother's day, so busy weekend.
