andrew b I loved this show growing up, watching with friends and family, but I only realised today I must have been watching reruns! I was watching mid 80s but it was old hat by then, ending in 81. Still fresh, performances on point throughout and I remember I was very upset about what happened to Brabinger the butler - I wanted a butler like him. Beautiful show.
