Would any of the older Brits here remember an ancient series - perhaps from the mid-1960s or even earlier - concerning an aristocratic family whose mansion and many acres are repossessed by the taxman, leaving them trying to live in the same world as the rest of us?
It was hilarious at the time; I don't know if it still would be, but would love to take a look if it's extant. The first episode, as far as I remember, included a scene where the family settled in to a new flat, and then the paterfamilias set off to visit the dole office to get help finding work. He got on a bus, and when the conductor arrived, asked how much the fare was -
"That'll be fourpence, mate."
"Ah…" (searches pockets). "I say, would you take a cheque?"
Cut to him hitching a ride on the back of a bin lorry…
