Tony’s flighty brother, Robin, causes all manner of confusion when he comes to stay.

Godfrey Harrison's sitcom about bashful, bumbling bachelor, David Alexander Bliss.

Six series of 118 episodes of A Life of Bliss ran on the BBC Home Service from 1953. It moved to BBC TV for a run of six episodes in 1969.

Sadly very few episodes survive in the BBC archive, including the first seven starring David Tomlinson. His replacement George Cole went to star in the St. Trinian's films and later as dodgy Arthur Daley in ITV's ‘Minder’.

The BBC Variety Orchestra conducted by Paul Fenhoulet.

Producer: Leslie Bridgmont

First broadcast on the BBC Home Service in February 1959. Show less
