My dad appeared in many of the episodes of the series and I managed to meet many of the cast, which was interesting. A couple were well stuck up, the rest were down to earth.

Thanks for sharing

I used to be able to play this on the piano many years ago.

The middle-eight always makes me imagine Jan Harvey, Stephen Yardley, et al drinking champers on board the yacht in the sunshine; probably nibbling on vol-au-vents and passing round a box of Ferrero Rocher too, while discussing all manner of upper-class la di da whatnot.
