Sitcom starring David Roper and Peter Sallis. Charlie Fisher is an insurance salesman - young, cheerful, optimistic, and starting a new job in a northern town. For some reason - perhaps because of his air of invincible optimism - Charlie is the sort of person other people depend on, from the little old lady who becomes his landlady, to his gloomy pessimist of a boss Arthur Simister, whose wife is so vague she can't even remember his name. Charlie's dependability leads him into being called on to do anything, and everything, going.
This episode: "Do Sit Down, Mrs Foster" - Mrs Foster comes to the offices to claim her money from a surrendered policy, and refuses to move from Mr Simister's chair until she gets all she paid in. This causes some chaos, which Charlie has to sort out in his own inimitable way.

Classic Television, Thanks for this glimpse of a comedy series with Peter Sallis as the head of an insurance office trying to deal with a 'sit-in' customer!

Millions of thanks for the above and beyond fantastic episode of a series I’d almost completely despaired of seeing!

@ytd-r1e Indeed it is - but this episode is from the second series, the entirety of which has yet to materialize on KZbin!

@ytd-r1e Suffice to say that you would have me grovelling in gratitude should you see fit to do so!!!

@ytd-r1e Boundless thanks for rescuing this series from the murky depths it’s been inhabiting until now! Excuse me while I hyperventilate...

A real treasure trove of ex-Coronation Street writers, producers and directors were involved in the making of this Granada production. Plus, Granada's MD since their early years Derek Hilton providing the theme music 🎶. A close-knit team this seems. Cheers 🥂 ❤😊

Wonderful wonderful! We all know that it can be difficult to get insurance companies to come up with the money, but Mrs. Foster (Avis Bunnage) really gives the staff push to the limit. I so enjoyed this sitcom about office life with its many funny moments and the variety of personalities.

David Roper (Charlie) is still with us, and is now 80 - hard to believe. This show was made between series 3 and 4 of The Cuckoo Waltz, with Diane Keen and David

Well, well. Norman Clegg forsaking lino rolls for insurance. What would Compo and Foggy think? I was nine at the time, but have only just come across this!

I was seventeen when this aired, so I'd have probably been out with the Lads when this was on.

They could have picked up each side of her chair and carried her out of that office or called the police to evict her. Daft letting her daughter bring food and daft not grabbing all the things and taking them from her, but then there wouldn't be a story to entertain us if they did!
