Tom, Dick And Harriet

Anyone remember this?

Tom, Dick And Harriet is a British sitcom that aired for two seasons from 1982 to 1983. It was created by the sitcom writing team of Johnnie Mortimer and Brian Cooke, and it starred veteran actor Lionel Jeffries in one of his very few television roles, only seven months after his previous TV sitcom role in Father Charlie; Ian Ogilvy (who had a few years before been cast as Simon Templar a.k.a. The Saint in Return of the Saint); and Brigit Forsyth (best known for her role as Thelma Ferris in The Likely Lads/Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads?).

It was made by Thames Television for the ITV network.

Yes - I don't remember it. Another ITV success.

I'm just watching Witchfinder General and notice that Ian Oglivy is one of the stars. My Mother dislikes Oglivy because she believes that there was an accident during the filming of Tom, Dick and Harriet where a car careered into a body of water and Oglivy saved himself without assisting his co-stars. Is this true?

Witchfinder General is up there with The Wicker Man in the list of all time great films !

It's much more memorable than Tom, Dick and Harriet, that's for sure.

Would liked to have seen one episode tho, good cast that.
