How us old folks miss people like Chris Langham! A Genius who created much pleasure for everyone (well those with a sense of humour, anyway!) Thank you BBC too for broadcasting it!

Don't mention it. Since the BBC have forgotten about some of my best work, I decided I'd have to preserve it myself

Such a brilliant script.
“My father was put on this earth to do one thing, and that’s to farm.”
“And what about your mother?”
“Okay, two things.”

I think "Ugborough College of Agriculture" was probably based on my old college, Seale Hayne Agricultural College in Devon!

[@geckobaldy]

[@jasongiles698]

[@paulmchugh8695]

He was lost for having indecent child pictures on his pc ?

[@kitcat7538]

He went to jail for it.

Roy Mallard is pushier and more irritable than the hapless figure he later evolved into.

[@roymallard74]

It's true, it was a while before I settled into my new role as a documentary maker. The early days were fun though.
