His life changes when he meets down on her luck parlourmaid Jane Travers (Barker regular Josephine
Tewson), the pair begin a hesitant relationship and when she inherits a run down cottage out in the Oxfordshire countryside the two of them move in together.
Much of the humour across the six episodes stems from Clarence trying to persuade the demure Jane to hop into bed with him and also of course his shocking short-sightedness, very much a real life Mr
Magoo; As well as Clarence and Jane coming to terms with their new country life style.
This charming, albeit short lived sitcom, was written by Barker himself under the pseudonym Bob Ferris (actually the name of one of the lead characters in Clement and La Frenais classic The Likely Lads) and is well worth reaquainting yourself with.
