This programme was originally broadcast by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and its origins are rather unusual. During 1953 in a Schools programme the BBC broadcast an interview with a thirteen-year old girl from Alberta, Patricia Dewan. In it she asked, among other questions, ' What is a butler? '
The programme was heard by a retired butler living in Buckinghamshire who immediately wrote her a forty-page letter in answer, and this is his story as it was read at the microphone in Canada last year by Howard Milsomleading Toronto actor.
