Arthur Lowe stars in this long-forgotten sitcom. Factory worker Clifford Basket (Ken Jones) has inherited the title of Earl of Clogborough, the remaining estate of which is a rundown mansion at Little Clogborough-in-the-Marsh and a faithful servant Bodkin played by Arthur Lowe. Clifford and his mother (Patricia Hayes) move in and start life anew as members of the landed gentry.
This episode: "It's A Living" - The Earl has the right to appoint the local Vicar. Bodkin has his eye on the £2,000 a year that comes with the post, recommending his twin brother for the job. Arthur Lowe plays his character's own brother, just as he would do more famously in Dad's Army a few years later. Guest stars Roy Barraclough.
First broadcast January 3rd 1972.
