Father is an ardent worker for the British Culture Council-art organisation devoted to teaching Morris dancing to Burmese washerwomen and dropping copies of Quentin Durward to Malayan communists. Mother - forced to cope with her eccentric husband, her adopted daughter Serena, and her younger daughter Barbara - takes the line of most resistance and fills her life with a perpetual if slightly 'butterfly' concern for the welfare of her family.
But it is with the eve of Serena's wedding that this comedy by Ronald Millar is mostly concerned, for into the pre-marriage preparations is projected a wealthy but recently deceased business man, who as an all too solid ghost and a lifelong bachelor, becomes personally concerned in this hilarious tangle between the quick and the dead...

Followed by Weather and Close DownAbout this project
This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
