I have to say that this show introduced me to the great actress, Geraldine McEwan, who now plays Miss Marple in the new series but the actor Karl Howman who plays Mulberry is quite an odd chap as they would say. He's not who he appears to be and his reasons for being employed by Mrs. Farnaby, a lonely spinster of a woman who lives on a manor, is rather strange. I don't want to scare anybody off but the plot behind the dark man is enough to get you asking way too many questions. The longtime dedicated servants, Bert and Alice, are extras. The Alices were changed between seasons for reasons unknown because British comedies don't work like American comedies in the first place. They make fewer episodes and sometimes actors or actresses are committed to the theater, television, or other film project. Anyway, the writing is satisfactory but I never understood the whole point of Mulberry, the man who helps this lonely lady of the estate reclaim some life in her. Geraldine McEwan who would have been Dame by now does a superb job in making you feel sympathy for her. Sylvia Sims has a guest appearance as Mulberry's mother.
