Charlie Fisher is an insurance salesman; young, cheerful, optimistic, and starting a new job in a Northern town. For some reason - perhaps because of his air of invincible optimism - Charlie is the sort of person other people depend on, from the little old lady he gives a lift home who becomes his landlady, to his gloomy pessimist of a boss, Arthur Simister, who is possessed of a wife so vague she can't remember his name and a deliciously dizzy secretary.
In Leave It To Charlie, written by HV Kershaw, Charlie finds himself called on to do everything, from looking over an elderly bachelor to assess his future 'prospects' as a husband to starring in the local amateur theatrical production.
