A total of 26 episodes were made, in four series between 1966 and 1968. Special mention should be made of each of the three title sequences to grace the series, in that the lettering of the stars’ names is animated in such a way that their characters’ temperaments are brought vividly to life: instantly we understand Peggy Mount and Sid James will be vying for the top spot, yet neither will fully have the upper hand. Tom Springfield’s theme tune is also a great piece of work.
