Comedy legend Bernard Cribbins had been a key presence in British film and television comedy for over a decade before he landed his own headlining television series at the tail-end of the 1960s. An off-beat revue of quickfire sketches in the "Cribbins style", this fast-moving mixture of comedy and song (including chart hits Hole in the Ground, Gossip Calypso and Right, Said Fred) featured a gallery of outrageous characters in a myriad of seemingly inexhaustible situations! Bank clerk, burglar, tramp, librarian, cowboy and even spaceman – Cribbins is all these, and many more!
Bernard visits a petrol station with Britains first topless garage attendant; confronts his boss over tax avoidance; has problems finding change for a parking meter; sings a song about his daily dates; encounters the Great Mysto the Hypnotist; has problems winding in a kite; visits an antique shop to return a faulty lamp; reports a lost truck (attached to an elephant) to British Rail's lost property office and has a unique way to deter life insurance salesmen.
