This is a long shot, but does anybody have any episodes of the late 60's American comedy series Blondie, starring Will Hutchins as Dagwood and Patricia Harty as Blondie?
This series was based on the comic strip. It ran for 13 episodes and was cancelled mid-season due to poor ratings. I don't know if it was ever transmitted in the UK.
Any information or leads would be extremely welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Some ITV regions use to show the Penny Singleton/Arthur Lake series in the mornings or afternoon (sounded like a good old Leslie Halliwell* purchase) very funny it was to. Stick my neck right out and say the TV series was never transmitted in the UK ,as i doubt if Leslie Halliwell would have purchased it ,if he had been a fan of the original and it was not up to par.
not much help to you i suppose?
*in case you do not know,as well as the famous books, Leslie Halliwell was also purchaser for externally made programmes/films for ITV sometime during 1960/70s

Thanks for the reply. Arthur Lake starred in the 1930's/40's film versions of Blondie and also the 1957 TV version. It's the 1968 TV version starring Will Hutchins that I'm interested in. I agree that the series probably wasn't shown here in the UK, but there must be some Blondie collector(s) out there somewhere with some episodes surely?
Would love to hear from anybody who has seen it or know where I could find any episodes.
