Very much in the style of the “Mr. Benn” animations I watched as a child, this fun outing from Bob Godfrey introduces us to a gent - think “Capt.

Told in just a few short episodes, we see how this elderly chap deals with a bully, an officious copper and still has pride in his country and time for a pint with his seriously inebriated pal ‘“Harry” at the end! Never judge a book by it’s cover, eh?
