High Stakes

Starring Richard Wilson [...] this highbrow sitcom set in the financial world was not quite in the same league as its more celebrated eighties counterparts, and suffered from some unrealistic and overblown pre-transmission publicity, but it was a likeable enough effort and it came as some surprise when the muted response to the first run led to the already-recorded second being shelved and eventually never transmitted. Now, surprisingly enough, both series have been released on DVD.
