Love On A Branch Line trivia

Love On A Branch Line received excellent reviews and plans were made for a second series. Adapter David Nobbs concocted an entirely original story in which Jasper returned to the hall to act as a moral guardian for Lord Flamborough's daughters, but then-BBC boss Alan Yentob took a dislike to the series and cancelled it.
