Fresh from Are You Being Served?, John Inman took on the role of Graham Jones, the personal assistant to the high-powered Joan Warner (played by Rula Lenska), a driven and successful divorcee who headed the Leisure Division at Eight Star International.
In a male-dominated corporate world, Warner relied on Mr Jones to manage both her professional commitments and domestic responsibilities.
Rather than being the subject of workplace flirtation or comic innuendo, Mr Jones was tasked with more practical duties – such as escorting Warner’s seven-year-old daughter, Lucy (Claudine Bowyer), to the dentist.
The cast also featured Miriam Margolyes as Maria, Warner’s wildly eccentric and largely incomprehensible “mad Italian maid”.
