In A Chip Off the Old Block black sheep of the Baskets, cousin Rupert (Richard Hurndall), has turned up at Clogborough Hall wondering why his retainer is no longer being paid.
In a nice touch hard working Richard Hurndall reappeared in the series as Rupert, he had played the elderly out-going Earl of Clogborough in the first episode of the series. David Jackson who plays a taxi driver, is best known for playing strong arm man Gan on cult classic Blake’s 7.
