Ran across this while perusing Internet Archive, it was created by Roy Clarke who penned the pilot, most of the series was written by Alan Plater, stars Bill Maynard. Oh No It's Selwin Froggitt (all 4 seasons 1974-78).

I really enjoy the series and a splattering of LOSW cast in most episodes

Speaking of LotSW cast, while browsing IA I also found Clarence, a 6 episode series with Josephine Tewson, starring Ronnie Barker. The playlist at that link starts with those episodes and has several other series including the anthology series Seven of One that spawned Open All Hours and Porridge.

Another one in my collection, shame they only did six episodes

I have them on dvd, I'm a fan of Ronnie Barker but not sure this was his best work, I did enjoy it however.

I so wanted this to work but on the whole it didn't its very gentle comedy but after seeing Ronnie B in big hitters Porridge and Open All Hours this never hit the heights sadly.

Selwyn was a good slice of Yorkshire fun and the cast clearly have a ball making it. It's predictable sure but it warms the heart as it goes along despite a very thin premise.

Clarence is ahow that was intentially low key and more akin to an Eric Sykes vehicle really but both Ronnie and Josephine again keep it warm hearted.

Both shows are well worth watching just don't expect to be rolling in the aisles every minute.

The problem with Clarence is that we were promised a series about a removal man, but after the first episode, removals wasn't much of the theme.

The theme was simply taken away instead
