This dire BBC comedy starred Tony Britton as Vivian Bancroft, a vain and pompous actor who disapproved of the relationship between his daughter Kate (Caroline Quentin) and Marvin Whipple (Philip Fox).
Vivian shouted a lot and generally lorded it over his family, including his young wife Natasha (the wonderful Susan Hampshire, who was surely hard up for a quid or two).
