[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 379213, member: 23"] With some sitcoms of the era I can understand they didn't date well with racial stereotyping and suchlike, but this series is inoffensive and is good clean fun. It's a puzzle why this didn't get repeated if it was popular. But I've said this about so many of these now-forgotten old sitcoms. I'm just glad Network released so many of these hidden gems before it went to the great distributing house in the sky. It's funny, but I could swear it's familiar to me. But this could also be because it's such an earworm and I've heard it a lot in the last few days. Yes indeed. Four series running from the beginning of '76 to the end of '78 (there were two series in '77). But the pilot was back in late '74. I'm nearing the end of the third series, and I've read that there's a huge change for the final one. The name was changed to just [I]Selwyn[/I], with the character transplanted to a holiday camp or something. I've grown to adore the ensemble and the gorgeous Yorkshire locations, so I'm not looking forward to the retooling at all. [/QUOTE]
