    7 x 30 minute episodes

    A sequel to Oh No, It’s Selwyn Froggitt in which Bill Maynard reprised his role as the hapless, accident-prone council worker Selwyn, who was now the Entertainment Officer in a run-down Butlin’s-style holiday camp called “Paradise Valley” at Saddlethorpe on the Yorkshire coast.

    Bernard Gallagher co-starred as the camp’s exasperated manager, Welshman Mervyn Price.

    After seven episodes highlighting his incompetence, Selwyn packs up and sadly goes back to his mum in Scarsdale.
