Hark at Barker

Switching to colour for series 2, Barker retained his strong supporting cast: Josephine Tewson as his housekeeper, Frank Gatliff as his butler, and David Jason heavily disguised as a bearded, doddering gardener with enormous personal hygiene problems. As before, Terry Gilliam is responsible for animation, including the opening title logo in which the words swing open like a door, matching the background activity.
