Hello,
I recently came across this series starring John Le Mesurier and Peter Butterworth, which was broadcast in 1971-72. Le Mesurier stars as eccentric peer Lord Bleasham who resides at the family seat in Somerset but has fallen upon hard times. Peter Butterworth plays his sinister chauffeur Clutton.
It seems that by 2010 only the first episode survived, the other five episodes and the pilot were missing presumed wiped.
Would be an interesting series, with Le Mesurier starring at the height of his Dad's Army fame. Does anyone know if anymore have been found since?

Yes it's a shame, Le Mesurier is always good. If it had been shown abroad, then maybe...
I don't think even the one surviving episode is available anywhere.
