and David Croft, which reunited many of the cast from the award-winning
sitcom Hi-De-Hi!
Working class chancer Alf Stokes (Paul
Shane) and James Twelvetrees (Jeffrey Holland) first meet as soldiers
in the battle trenches of France during the First World War. They find
the body of an officer and, assuming that he's dead, Alf robs him of
his valuables. Then they find that the officer, the Honourable Teddy
Meldrum (Michael Knowles), is still alive so they carry him off to a
field hospital.
Ten years later, James is working in the
household of Teddy's brother, Lord Meldrum (Donald Hewlett). Alf
suddenly turns up and is taken on as the new butler, against James'
wishes. Alf's daughter, Ivy (Su Pollard) also starts working in the
household as a parlour maid but her relationship with Alf is kept
secret...
