Sitcom identification

Can anyone tell me the name of a sitcom- circa 1960's- starring Hilda Braid (Nana Moon of Eastenders) where she played a housekeeper, alongside two teenage girls looked after by their dad.

I know its not much to go on!

Thanks

I don't know if this is what your thinking off because I've never seen it. But nana moon was in a sitcom called Robin's Nest. Hope that helps.

I think you're thinking of Father, Dear Father. Noel Dyson played Nanny, the housekeeper, but she did look like Hilda Braid.

Thanks for that Aaron- someone at work mentioned it and its been bugging me all afternoon-no wonder I couldn't find anything on Hilda Braid's obitauries!.

Oh really? She certainly wasn't a regular member of the cast - perhaps you remember her in a particular episode?

Barely related Hilda Braid guest-appearance trivia; she was in episode two of In Loving Memory, and one of the final episodes of Time Gentlemen Please.

I always found Robin's Nest quite depressing. Not sure why.

You have to buy it from Aaron's link too - it keeps him in his solid-gold frame glasses and his ivory plated BMW.

And don't forget the strippers. They have those at BSG HQ.

Goes without saying.

Hahaha :D

It was always quite gloomily lit in that late 70s ITV way.

Great theme tune, though.

Do we? I must go looking for that room!

Poor SbF.

Oh dear.
