This On the Buses-style comedy was written by and starred Bob Grant (who had played Jack Harper in that series), who stepped out of his bus conductor’s uniform to play stereotypically randy milkman Jim Wilkins.
The dozy pinta roundsman was a loser at collecting empties (he had a habit of sleeping late and missing his float) but an amorous winner with the housewives.
Anna Karen (who had played Olive in On The Buses) co-starred as Jim’s harassed wife, Rita. Her father (Leslie Dwyer) lived with them.
Alan Curtis was Jim’s vexed foreman, Norman “Fishface” Fish.
The show was formulaic and predictable and never got beyond the pilot stage, aired on ATV’s Comedy Premiere anthology on 26 November 1975.
Bob Grant never acted on TV again.
