- StarsRonnie BarkerSharon MorganDickie ArnoldPlantagenet Evans played by Ronnie Barker is a photographer who lives in sin with his mistress and is driven around by his simple chauffeur. It only lasted for one series of six episodes and didn't prove popular with audiences even though it was written by Roy Clarke who penned Open all Hours and more classic comedies. The story is set in Wales. The song heard over the opening and closing credits is composer Ronnie Hazelhurst's instrumental arrangement of the Welsh folk song, "Bugeilio'r Gwenith Gwyn" (Watching the White Wheat), a song which, like the series itself, is the story of a love affair which is not acceptable to the woman's family.

Things go awry when the mobster plans to buy it for his OWN mistress and soon the whole plan goes out the window along with women's clothing and a few other things. Mistaken identities, scantily clad women kept hidden in closets, mobsters, suspicious wives, and misguided shoppers keep this comedy trucking along in the spirit of the Marx Brothers' and Noises Off.
