    1 9 7 1 – 1 9 7 2 (UK)
    13 x 30 minute episodes

    This comedy series from ATV starred Gary Warren (who had played Cedric in Catweazle) as know-it-all 16-year-old Alexander Green. Sydney Tafler played his Yiddisher papa, Joe – a furrier in Great Portland Street.

    Adrienne Posta and Libby Morris (who was later replaced by Stella Moray) made up the rest of the comfortable middle-class North London Jewish family.

    Alexander desperately wanted to spread his wings and take over the world.

    The first series aired on Thursday evenings but moved to Wednesdays for the second series.
